Dear Sir,
May be you are considering end to end pax. Although there will be end to end passengers as both AGC and ASR are tourist centers, but majority pax will be in legs AGC-NDLS, NDLS-CDG, NDLS-ASR, NDLS-JUC, NDLS-LDH, NDLS-BEAS which on their own are high demand city pairs and these will make it a hit. A train is not always given a hit status if it fills at the terminals.
