Why are there so many express and long-distance trains to or from obscure locations like Manduadih, Habibganj, etc.?

July 19, 2019, 12:52 PM

Often, the terminus for long-distance trains into a city or town is not the railway station that is the “main” station for that town, but rather some outlying or suburban station that can better handle the long-distance traffic. The names of the trains, unfortunately, often reflect these actual termini rather than the “real” destination to which service is being provided. Similarly, sometimes a nearby station is used for services to an intermediate city as well, instead of a station at the city. For e.g.

New Delhi services may terminate at Hazrat Nizamuddin or Sarai Rohilla.
Mumbai services may terminate at Dadar, Kurla, or Bandra.
Bhopal services may terminate at Habibganj.
Calcutta services may terminate at Howrah or Sealdah.
Chennai (Madras) services may terminate at Egmore or Tambaram
Varanasi services may terminate at Manduadih.
Jaipur services may terminate at Durgapura.
Hyderabad services may terminate at Kacheguda.
Ranchi services may terminate at Hatia.
Nagpur services may terminate at Itwari.
Patna services may terminate at Rajendra Nagar.
Bangalore services may terminate at Yeshwantpur [5/01]

Similarly, for intermediate stations:

Kazipet for Warangal
Shrirampur for Belapur
Katpadi for Vellore
Pratapnagar or Vishwamitri for Vadodara (Baroda) (NG)
