Indian Railways supposed to implement three language formula for national integration. But the administration observe this policy more in breach than in deed. Particularly the trains covering more than one state should exhibit the name boards on rakes in tune with the coverage. The zonal railways specifically arrange boards representing the state in which they are located Albeit the train runs maximum part in a state, the name boards do not find a place with the language of that state. For example the Konark Express (11019/11020) running between CSTM and Bubaneswar covers Maharashtra(500 Kms), Karnataka (150 Kms), Andhra (1120 Kms) and Odisha (160 Kms). The figures revels 2/3rd distance is in Andhra only. But the trains carries hardly Telugu boards for the guidance of travellers. Why this callous approach.

As per the update on Jul 17 under Rail news-new trains, the train No.18519 is shown as bi-weekly train with new timings. Why this ambiguity.

I am under the opinion that the Indian Railways is unique as one Unit. Zonal units are only for administrative purpose but not to act independently.

The new train No.18519 announced in the current budget to run daily between Visakhapatnam and Mumbai LTT, I hope, will run from Sept.10 without any hitch since the Machilipatnam-Mumbai train as announced by the then Rly. Minister Mr. Lalu Prasad, has not yet commenced its journey till to=day and constrained to comment that the Railway Board or authorities at the helm of affairs are conferring the announcements in Parliament as faux pas.
The Railway administration needs to be considered the following suggestions for the convenience of travelling public.

I have concluded that the train No.18519 is a new train, since the Train No. is new, the schedule regarding days of run and time is new.

I am a resident of Vijayawada in A.P. Often I visit Mumbai to see my children at Panvel. I have experienced the hardships at LTT at present. I prefer Karjat to board the train instead of LTT due to traffic bottle neck. I am not aware of the future developments as enumerated and how the instant problem will be solved after developments needs to be examined. In a stratigic junction, terminus is arranged in the outskirts of the city. Likewise Bandra, Ltt are arranged, why not Panvel. For growing cities, it is essential taking consideration of the situation.

When the Manmad-Pune Exp train is running on Kalyan-Panvel-Karjat-Pune route, why not this train provided the other factors are feasible. Positive thinking is anticipated for Panvel terminus for the benefit of south bound travellers to and from Navi Mumbai.

The New Train No.17221/17222 announced in the budget was updated on 6th July indicating date of introduction will be notified later. But in this portal, notified as TRAIN IS CANCELLED. In such case, the cancellation reflects on the budget announcement. If so, I am constrained to conclude that the executive authorities are exercising super natural powers over the Hon'ble Minister for Railways vis-a-vis Parliament on the issue which is rediculous. Yhe ultimate suferers are public of this region.

Being a Senior Citizen, I tried to reserve a ticket from CSTM to BZA in 11019 Konark Express, when there is a waiting list. Surprisingly I got a confirmed ticket under Senior Citizen quota. The same procedure needs to be practiced by other zones like Central Railway for the benefit of Senior Citizens.
