    by: Jayashree ▪❖▪ Amita**  Today (02:27AM)


    Shivjajinagar railway station paints a dismal picture when it comes to passenger safety and convenience. While the cramped and narrow gates lead to many passengers missing their trains, especially during rush hours, the absence of security personnel or metal detectors at the gates speaks volumes about the poor security scenario...

    by: Jayashree ▪❖▪ Amita**  Today (02:23AM)


    The Railway Ministry's promise to make the Pune railway station a world class one remains far off the mark, with lack of cleanliness and poor security being a perennial complaint of passengers. Only the main platform, number 1, looks somewhat clean. All other platforms are littered with empty water bottles...

Re# 412774-8                  
Coro is always the best option.. But getting ticket in Coro and MAS Mail is virtually impossible, if you plan your journey late.. Like 20 days in advance.. In that case, this is the very last option.. Btw, this train takes almost the same time as HWH- MAS Mail..

Re# 412774-27                  
After 08:30, the next train from Howrah (SER) is at 11:00, namely Yeshvantpur Duronto.. From Shalimar, the next train is at 12:20 Secunderabad Express, that too only on friday.. So a slot could easily be given to this train between 08:30 to 11:00... Though there are numerous EMUs, yet they are made to run through the Main Up.. And the Expresses follow the Up Reverse.. And as a matter of fact, till there was night restriction on the KGP-TATA stertch, Samaleshwari used to run just behind the Mumbai/ Pune Duronto.. That slot could easily be given to the SHM-MAS Express...

Re# 412774-28                  
If that is the case, let it start after coromandel. Nothing harm. There isn't much crowd @ VSKP either in that time and from MAS, it's free anyways.

Re# 412774-29                  
I think a line is cleared in 2-3 minutes. So, the number of trains in India can be made multiple with the same signalling system applied, at least theoretically. But the causes of being late like strikes, accidents should be eliminated completely.

All railway road croossing should be made on top of pillars.
Wherever railway track is close to field,fence should be made for safety of cows and trains.

arkya,you have missed the point that,one line is almost busy with shunting the dozens of trains that have poured in at hwh early morning...they are being shunted to santragachi continuously from hwh using third line...this train from santragachi could be a possibility but again connectivity issues at src...

Re# 412774-32                  
But the shunting mayhem ends at SRC... I am talking about the 64 kms route of SRC- Panskura stretch.. Afterall, the SHM lines also meet at SRC..

Re# 412774-34                  
Quite right.. And frankly speaking, its useless discussing this topic.. IR would allot the train the same slot as that of the Special.. :-)
