Some of the major stations that the train passes through on itIn 2011, the train was in news for traveling several kilometers on the wrong track during a journey. The train took the wrong track at Khana Junction and traveled towards Bolpur instead of Dhanbad. It was sent back on the right track after the staff at the Talit station spotted the error.

Back in the 1990s, (1982 to be precise) the train had a scheduled stop at Burdwan junction. However, due to overbearing notoriety of the daily commuters in the Burdwan-Howrah section which often culminated in serious altercations with other passengers, the stoppage had been revoked. An EMU (electric multiple unit) local train was put into the service to cater to the daily passengers travelling from Burdwan to Howrah at that particular hour of the day. The train had few stops in between the two stations.s way are HOWRAH JUNCTION and ASANSOL JUNCTION.
