Now this is what I call a well made Route explaining video. You surely did a very hard work in making this 👍👍 Keep growing man.

[@shalinmodi6748]

Indian suburban railway let it be Mumbai, Kolkata or Chennai are class apart public transport networks. Aesthetically they may not be as elegant as Metros in India but they can handle good ammount of ridership.

[@rintughosh5863]

Yeah..😍😍😘❤️💯 Finally countdown begins for Kolkata railway networks.I'm eagerly waiting for this and the fact that I daily go to college using this suburban network from Krishnanagar City jn. to Ranaghat also and desire for exploring the whole kolkata suburban network..thanksssssss for making this video...😍😁

[@utsavmukherjee2099]

Hats off to you man. Your effort for this video is really commendable. You did not miss a single station route of this network. Even i, being a resident of kolkata had forgotten about the biman bandar line but you made me recall😁😁. Keep posting more

[@manikdas2377]

Explain me about the circular line

[@sagnikchanda8637]

@@manikdas2377 The circular line initiates after Dum Dum Junction , it bifurcates after 800 m on the way DDJ-BNXR , from DDJ , it cuts leftwards heading to the circular line , it is this line till Majherhat and then on , the Sealdah South division from Majherhat to Park Circus , after Park circus it bifurcates avoiding Sealdah , halting at Sir Gurudas Banerjee Halt - BidhanNagar Road and finally Dum Dum Junction again . Since , this railpath starts from same place and terminates at same place again , this is called Circular railway .

[@AnubhabKundu]

Thank you for covering India's historic capital. Would like to tell you that there are a part of non suburban railway corridors you have not covered. 1. Andal to Sainthia main section 2. Bardhaman to Sainthia section via Main 3. Andal to Saintha chord section 4. Howrah to Azimganz chord section via Ahmadpur junction They come under the jurisdiction of Eastern Railways. All the sections have MEMU trains running. Some important stations on the Andal to Sainthia Chord section are Andal, Dubrajpur, Ukhra, Chinpai and Suri Junction. This section has a few trains running, and the line is near to Bakreswar thermal power station, where my dad works. And the coal is shipped there via a branch from Chinpai. A few trains running in this line are MEMU, rest all electric locomotive hauled. Many trains that go to Suri or Azimganz use the route via Ahmadpur. The important stops on this track are Bolpur shantiniketan, Dankuni and Ahmadpur junction. The NJP Shatabdi Express, India's fastest diesel hauled shatabdi, pass by this line.

And most neglected districts are bankura, purulia, both medinapur and the reason behind this is South Eastern railway this railway zone is the most backward zone.

Do they have slow and fast lines ? Like we have ? In mumbai ?

[@SaurabhRautIR]

They Do Have Slow and Fast services, but Not dedicated lines. Only the corridor from Sealdah to Naihati is 4 Line, rest all are Triple, double or Single line corridors and use same lines for All services. The line details of each corridor will be mentioned in Respective Timelapses.

45 mins ? are u insane ? how much insane ?? ...there r trains in each 10-12 mins interval, frequency becomes 4 mins during office hours, Kolkata's suburban railway is more than 3 times larger than Mumbai's. its Sealdah section is busiest in entire Asia. sit down Mumbai.
