Cuttack people unhappy with trains bypassing Cuttack: An easy solution
Bhubaneswar and vicinity, Bhubaneswar- Cuttack- Puri, Cuttack, ECOR, Khordha, Railway maps No Comments »Recently unhappiness is brewing because of various trains bypassing Cuttack. See the following news item from Samaja.
I believe there is a easy solution to this: Develop the Naraj station to have express train stops and develop the accessibility of the Naraj station from the roads that goes from Naraj to Bidanasi side of Cuttack.
I wrote about it earlier in http://www.orissalinks.com/orissagrowth/archives/1967. There were some concerns regarding the overlap with the proposed New Barang station between Patia and Bhubaneswar. I think with the rate Cuttack-Bhubaneswar are is growing even if a major station in the form of a New Barang station comes up, it will be still a good idea to have a express stop station in Naraj.
In the not too far future the grater Bhubaneswar area would need five stations: Khurda Rd, Bhubaneswar, New Barang, Cuttack and Naraj. The following map shows the five stations and the distance between them.
