I am regular visitor of Nepal. Due to my Job I visit nepal twice or thrice a month. Everytime I take train from NDLS to GKP, Because train is fastest way to reach Gorakhpur. However After reaching Gorakhpur JN, it takes almost 4 hours to reach Indo-nepal Border, because there is no direct train between Delhi to Nautanwa (Station Nearest to Nepal Border). Plenty of passenger trains runs on that route, but due to negligence to Railway staff, Not a single train runs on time between Gorakhpur-Nautanwa. Its very shocking to see, people have to use bus route inspite of fine railway route between Gorakhpur and Nautanwa. However if passenger trains runs on time, People will show interest to use railway inspite of bus route. Last year I have heard a news that Railway is thinking for extending rail route to Kathmandu, its nearly impossible, before thinking for such long...

I will try to send my suggestion to Ministry of Railways, Our Honourable Railway Minister, and Our Honourable Chief Minister for this. So that Railway can think to Start a New train from NAUTANWA (NTV) to New Delhi. Its not only for me, it will great news for all who travels reguarly to NDLS from Nepal or neighbouring areas.
