All the passing trains non terminating trains are bound to have reversal for the crowded VSKP station. There should not be competition.
.
The international standard station for VSKP should be developed at suitable location so that no reversal is required for the passing trains and the location is convenient to residents at the same time. A lot of time and revenue can be saved by IR if such provision can be made in future.

One thing is beyond doubt Suresh Prabhu & Dinesh Trivedi are one of the most unfortunate but capable RMs.

Re# 2149034-4              
It is true that a lot of poker is played with the pink book allocation of some projects. Some for genuine reason, some with mal-intention of diversion of fund to other favoured project(s) and many times due to lack of fund in the kitty of IR.
.
In current scenario where, growth in bulk freight offering to IR remaining very poor and actual revenue falling short of the budgeted revenue by a hefty 11%, there are every chances that many projects of previous budget may not get enough funds.
.
...
more...

After getting worst kind of handover of IR from the predecessor, Mr Prabhu have to face the fury of 3 strong enemies of IR finances i.e. passenger subsidy, seventh pay commission burden and very poor bulk loading (especially coal) simultaneously hitting hard.

New budget system has nothing to do with availability of Rly budget documents to concerned Rly officials. This year too Railway Budget has been made by Rly officials as usual, the only change in the new system is RM does not spell out Rly Budget details in the parliament and there is no separate discussion/passing of Rly budget. The Rly budget shall be automatically passed once the general budget is passed.
.
Rly officials are not getting or declaring the details mainly due to RLy documents like not declared open by the parliament
...
more...
as after budget presentation, the parliament was suspended for a day(2nd feb). It is reported in newspaper that the same shall be issued tomorrow by the parliament
.
Some of the financial benefits to IR in this year's budget:
(1) Budgetary allocation has gone up from 47000 Cr to 55000 Cr i.e. extra Rs 8000 Cr
(2) No need to pay dividend i.e benefit of about Rs 10000 Cr
(3) About newly announced safety fund of 1lac Crore Rs (Fin Minisry share 25000 crore) in 5 yrs, picture is not clear. Whether there will be separate provision or it is included in Rs 55000 Cr?

Looks like pink book figures are not available for the zonal officials of the serving the poll bound states.
That is why allocation figures other zones is being reported.
After all no govt would like to mess with Election Commission when polls are due.
