Maybe it's a glitch. IR isn't exactly the brightest when it comes to updating it's websites. Could also be those are unreserved.

Entire social media for the past few days is filled with videos of travellers on trains struggling for space across all classes.
The absolute dead silence on this matter from the Railways and the Rail Minister is only making it worse.

Ironically, years of government amplifying the videos of Vande Bharat (a good service nonetheless) has been completely smashed right at the time

of elections by these scenes playing out.

I just travelled on 11302 (not even on a weekend) from Bangalore to Mumbai, and while I was fortunate enough to be on coach A2, the general and sleeper coaches and even 3AC until Kalaburgi looked like a scene from hell.

Sure, one major cause is the reduction of sleeper/general coaches but this government as per data compared to earlier governments has performed exceptonally on the front of electrification and track Doubling/Tripling - What is the use when new trains are not being added on this newly created track capacity?

How does one manage to mess it up this bad?

It was always like this, some times there are certain trends on social media, nothing else. Not much capacity has been increased, in fact the crowding is mostly in the Bihar Delhi trunk route, which is saturated since long and no capacity has been added, so not many new trains can be introduced. And tbh crowding in railways is hardly an issue for a general election. No govt has ever been able to solve it and no govt will ever solve it.

I remember a lot of people used to mention how Sleeper and General class were loss makers and needed to be terminated as a whole.

What do y'all think about this? Loss making VBs. Some times ago I also made a post about how useless Bhopal - Indore VB was and Sampoorna Kranti's unreserved class was making more revenue than that of Bhopal - Indore VB.

Clearly, Indian Railways and the Government are also at fault for Railway's loss making nature and not just some exclusive classes like SL or GS.

Expected. VBEs are only relevant in high density sectors like delhi agra, delhi asr/cdg, hwh njp, bct adi etc. Rest all 2 tier cities are not ready for VBE chair far version. IR should immediately slow down the production of CC VBE and focus on AB and sleeper VBE. Only the sleeper version will be a better hit if it has max 3AC .

There is difference between promises and reality. Maybe 160kph by next year is possible.

VB concept is ok but in limited quantity. What we really need is a sleeper version of it. This govt has done many good things. 160kph and full LHB trains other than Rajdhani, 130kph for almost all main routes was also done by this govt. Concepts like RRTS and bullet train all by this govt. I hope they come back with 400+ seats.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
