[[Gaya Junction railway station|Gaya]] is the only station on this line that is amongst the top hundred booking stations of the Indian Railway. Apart from Gaya there are various local stations used by masses such as [[Nawada_railway_station|Nawada]],[[Sheikhpura_railway_station|Sheikhpura]], [[Warisaliganj_railway_station|Warisaliganj]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.indianrail.gov.in/7days_Avl.html| work=Indian Railways Passenger Reservation Enquiry| title=Availability in trains for Top 100 Booking Stations of Indian Railways| access-date=23 March 2014| url-status=dead| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140510115649/http://www.indianrail.gov.in/7days_Avl.html| archivedate=10 May 2014| df=dmy}}</ref> | [[Gaya Junction railway station|Gaya]] is the only station on this line that is amongst the top hundred booking stations of the Indian Railway.

Since most of the trains ply between kiul and gaya the passenger movement is also limited. Since Kiul being a terminal station for most train does not have much significance as it is neither a great market place nor a tourist destination, neither it has great educational hub nor an industrial cluster, so it limits the no. Of passenger in this line. If more trains are run through this line to other cities like Deoghar, Asansol, Dhanbad, Ranchi, Varanasi, Delhi and other big cities this line would certainly provide more passenger boarding and deboarding. | |||
The Distance between Kiul to Mughalsarai is 335 km via Patna and it is 334 km via Gaya. There are more than 30 trains from Kiul to Mughalsarai via Pa but only one train via Gaya that too a weekly with only 3AC accommodation. So the actual potential of passengers in this line is not reflected by no of trains running. on. | |||
