Some issue with Shortest Route on map feature. I searched for the shortest route between TATA and KURJ, and added stations Anara and Chopan as via stations. The calculated distance is correct, i.e 1139 kms, but the marking shown on the map is from Chopan to Khajuraho only. Please check

If a route is under developed, it needs ICEs and Mail trains, not full AC trains that half the population can't afford.

Re# 6357371-33              
That would depend both on occupancy and also on how much rakes the VB has. A 60% occupied 16 coacher VB is more useful than a 60% occupied 8 coached VB. Also, not to be neglected is the fact that VBs, atleast on some routes, overtake many daily trains that leads to slow down of them.

Case in point: GKP-ALD VB overtakes the GKP-LJN ICE which is 22 coacher vis a vis 8 coacher and carries nearly triple the nos of passengers when you factor in GN coaches. The overtake led

to slowdown of ICE by 15 mins.

So, the question IR needs to ask is if it can't develop the infrastructure [read :new tracks, atleast triple lined sections] to run VB trains, what right does it have to snatch off hundreds of hours per day [a 15 min slowdown multiplied b y even 400 pax will give 100 hrs] from common travelers.

But do you know even 60% is a huge number in this route, DURG-VSKP. It will hardly catch 30-40% occupancy even in summers. Because people in this route simply cannot afford it.

It will touch easily if its 8 coaches. As I told some stops needed. Around 300-400 people travelling day as per booking. We don't know about last minute travellers.

    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...
