-Pehle to rail budget 2013 itself was so weird for NCR...Mathura -ALD SF ko Jaipur extend kar dia?(via tTDL-RKM-AGC-RKM-MTJ --JP?---- what a weird route long route ....so many rake reversals...shouldn't directly Agra to Jaipur should have been done?
-The most logical Superhit extension ( I had written to RB for its extension to NZM in Dec2012) would have been to NZM with stoppage at FDB(old Faridabad):
DOWN: NZM 6:30-7PM...FDB 7:20 PM..AGC 11:PM.....CNB 5:30 AM.....ALD 7:45/8 AM
UP:...
more... ALD 11:00 PM...CNB1:30PM.....AGC 6:45 AM....FDB 9:45 AM...NZM 10:20AM
a. a direct extension from MTJ without involving rake/reverse .......+ NZM to MTJ is a 115+km/hr track easily achieved within 2hrs? with one stop by a SF train..im sure NZM par daytime mein (11:00am-6:00pm) ek rake ki maintainace ki jagah to hogi.....
b. this would have thus become 1st train of choice for South DELHI/South Haryana(Faridabad etc.) going to CNB/ALD without making them come to north NDLS/DLI/ANVT.
c. this train runs with 18-19 coaches only... another 1 2AC,2 3AC, 2 SL should have been added to make full 24 coacher( accommodate S. Delhi/Faridabad crowd... im sure 2-3 AC coaches would not have remained vacant.... S. DELHI/Faridabad....that much daily "AC" Class crowd is there, surely)
-Now, till now it has enjoyed quite a fair punctual run in NCR,, but with this new proposed extension to JP via MTJ??..... iske din bhi gaye samjho :|
RB officials se kya extension manga tha aur kya sanction ho gaya !! :(
