Besides,  provision  of  stoppages  of  train  services,  which  is  an  on-going process, depends on the traffic justification, operational feasibility including availability of extra time on the section & availability of matching infrastructure such as Platform length etc. On Indian Railways, occupancy pattern of trains varies over lean and peak periods.  During peak rush periods, the occupancy of the trains especially on popular routes remains full whereas during lean period and on less popular routes, there is sub optimal utilization. Traffic  pattern  of  the  trains  running  on  Indian  Railways  is  monitored  on regular basis and to cater to additional demand, load of existing trains are augmented, special trains are run, new trains are introduced, frequency of existing trains is increased etc. subject to operational feasibility. Further, proposals/ requests/ suggestions/ representations, both formal and informal inter alia for introduction of trains, extension of existing trains, increase  in  frequency  of  trains,  stoppage  of  train  services  are received from Members of Parliament, elected representatives, organizations/rail users etc. at various levels including Railway Board, Zonal Railways,  Divisional  Offices  etc.  As  receipt  of  such  proposals/  requests/ suggestions is a continuous and dynamic process, centralized compendium of such requests is not maintained. However, these are examined and action as found feasible and justified is taken from time to time.
