see post 436032-11. mr. aravind is vouching that it runs jam packed and it is truly a SF if you look at the travel time. do you have proof that this is a loss making train for IR. i am not being selfish but it is just that we need to have more connectivity along India's coastal belt.

KSK, Marusagar, TVC Raj are much better in this sector. But 12997/98 is also a good option, according to me. I have heard many rave comments about the pantry in ASR KCVL, is it true??

Re# 436032-16                  
traveled from where to where ?? and why pathetic ?? any specific reason. you would have traveled for a shorter distance. think about us long distance travelers from west gujarat to south india and you would say that this is the most preferable train.

Re# 436032-17                  
jam packed may be in summer season or any festival time other wise u can easily gets tickets and in general coaches seems runs empty throughout the journey have seen it many times instead of that IR should run this train only once in a week and in seasonal time they run a special train towards south instead of starting a new train every year, creating more and more loss.

Re# 436032-18                  
yes its true the pantry of ASR-KCVL is too bad compare to all south bound trains via konkan but when it comes to speed no one will have any kind of complaints about that.

Re# 436032-20                  
ok. now just tell me what should be the criteria for a successful train ? do you mean to say that all trains that the IR runs should always be full all the year round ? is it possible ? than maybe just a couple of trains might run and that too between metro cities. do not be a fool and keep harping about losses. think of the facility for travelling public. if you check their is no daily connectivity from Hapa / Rajkot / Ahmedabad to South India. we can get trains daily from BRC and BSR but those are all coming from North and therefore, very difficult to get seats.
