"Demands, including that from the Member of Parliament, have been received for introduction of new train between Delhi and Purnea, which have been examined but not found feasible, at present, due to operational constraints including terminal constraints at either ends," he said.
He added that two pairs of the existing Mail/Express services-- including Delhi-Katihar Champaran Humsafar Express (bi-weekly) via Purnea, introduced in April 2018 between Delhi and Purnea-- are considered adequate to cater to the present level of traffic.
