I feel like the standardization of Rakes and decrease of Sleeper coaches has caused a lot of confusion and issues. Not to mention the cramped up coaches with Unreserved passengers, causing an inconvenience to reserved passengers. As a result, I have a solution up my sleeve that might work, please provide any suggestions as follows.
1) We know that there are two dedicated trains running between MAS and HWH with huge crowds, each 22 coaches.
2) These trains can be split into 3 trains, 2 16 Coaches with all AC coaches with SF...
more... priority and 1 Coach train with all Non AC and Sleeper Coaches with lower priority
First train - Coromandel AC SF Express
CC - EOG 1 HCPV 1 B 12 A 3 H1
Second Train - Chennai Howrah AC SF Mail
CC - EOG 1 HCPV 1 M 7 B 3 A 2 HA1 PC 1
Third Train - Chennai Howrah Express
CC - EOG 1 SLR 1 GEN 4 S 10
3) If this is done on a larger level all over railways, This will require IR to do a huge makeover and follow the foot steps of other countries where lengths of Trains do not exceed 16 Coaches. Everyone here knows that shorter rakes will result in Faster schedules, faster acceleration and less time of travel.
please wait...Translate to EnglishI feel like the whole Rakes and Sleeper coaches situation has caused a bunch of confusion and problems. The coaches are all cramped up with Unreserved passengers, which is a pain for those of us who actually reserved our spots. So here's what I'm thinking...
1) We got these two trains going between MAS and HWH and they're always packed. Each one has like 22 coaches.
2) What if we split these trains into 3? Two of 'em could have 16 AC coaches and be super fancy, and the other one could have the Non-AC and Sleeper coaches. Obviously, the fancy ones would have more priority.
Here's how I'm picturing it:
- First train: Coromandel AC SF Express. It would have EOG 1 HCPV 1 B 12 A 3 H1 for coaches.
- Second Train: Chennai Howrah AC SF Mail. It would have EOG 1 HCPV 1 M 7 B 3 A 2 HA1 PC 1 for coaches.
- Third Train: Chennai Howrah Express. It would have EOG 1 SLR 1 GEN 4 S 10 for coaches.
3) And if we do this all over the railways, man, it's gonna be a big change. Indian Railways gotta follow the lead of other countries where they got their stuff together.
