Besides,  provision  of  stoppage  of  train  services,  depends  on  the traffic  justification,  operational  feasibility  including  availability  of extra  time  on  the  section  &  availability  of  matching  infrastructure such as Platform length etc.

Further, Proposals/ requests/ suggestions/ representations, both formal and informal inter alia for introduction/restoration of trains are received from Members  of Parliament, elected representatives, organizations/rail users etc. at various levels including Railway Board, Zonal  Railways,  Divisional  Office  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, which is an on-going process.

Besides, extension of train services on any route/section depends on various factors which include-

-  Capacity of that section
-  Availability of path
-  Availability of required rolling stock
-  Availability of matching infrastructure for rolling stock
- Maintenance requirement of railway tracks and other assets
