...THE AC DOUBLE DECKER...
.
Indian Railways launched much hyped a new category of trains i.e. "AC Double Decker" on various routes in 2011 during Ms. Mamta Banerjee rail ministry

WR Ahmedabad -...
more... Mumbai Central Double Decker Express
WCR Bhopal тАУ Indore Double Decker Express [RSA]
SR Chennai - Bangalore Double Decker Express
SCR Guntur - Kacheguda Double Decker Express [RSA] [to be DEFUNCT]
ECR Habibganj - Indore Junction Double Decker Express [RSA]
ER Howrah тАУ Dhanbad Double Decker Express [DEFUNCT]
NWR Jaipur - Delhi Sarai Rohilla Double Decker Express
SCR Kacheguda - Tirupati Double Decker Express [RSA] [to be DEFUNCT]
NER Lucknow - Anand Vihar Double Decker Express
.
Of these many couldn't b a success probably due to :-
*Less Leg Room (Legs seems to be crushed)
*Width of seats is less (fat people cant travel comfortably)
*Luggage Problem
*Lack of PC on longer routes/ journey (AC pax dont prefer to get down to buy RAIL NEER/soft drinks etc )
*(Inputs welcomed)
.
Not to forget
*heavy investment and manpower in R&D
*RDSO trials and certificate
*CRS trails
*curve issues
*pf manipulation
.
The POINT is dont run DDs for d sake of running tag "DOUBLE DECKER" in the country.
its a waste exercise if its not ran in conducive way or optimum utilized.
.
But v hav witnessed certain DDs which r successful such as JP-DEE, ADI-BCT, MAS-SBC, LJN-ANVT but lets us clear that dese have become successful dont bcoz of DOUBLE DECKER concept but bcoz of route demanding a AC train. not to forget JP-DEE has 2 shat EC coaches.
.
another point
----------------
consider newly inaugurated LJN-ANVT DD which has 10 CC
so lets compare
10x120=1200 seats
15*78=1170 seats
What m trying to say is a icf shat can b easily ran with 15coaches carrying almost same no. of passengers
.
there r HBJ - INDB -BPL - INDB - HBJ DD which jst hav 3 coaches whereas it was said DD wud clear rush
what a joke !
instead of above DD, a simple ICE consisting of GEN, 2S, CC would do boon for passengers
.
Therefore, I wud suggest to run ICF shats without catering charges on wherever routes required.
.
Now dese existing DD sud b ran only on existing shat routes only.
I have heard manufacturing of DD has been stopped.
.
Last but not d least, some positive scope.
DDs wud b a assest where it can replace 24coacher or max coaches train with same comfort and everything....

please wait...Translate to EnglishThe Indian Railways introduced a new type of train called "AC Double Decker" on different routes in 2011. Some of the routes include Ahmedabad - Mumbai Central, Bhopal тАУ Indore, Chennai - Bangalore, Guntur - Kacheguda, Habibganj - Indore Junction, Howrah тАУ Dhanbad, Jaipur - Delhi Sarai Rohilla, Kacheguda - Tirupati, and Lucknow - Anand Vihar. Unfortunately, many of these trains were not successful due to issues like less legroom, narrow seats, luggage problems, and no refreshments on long journeys.

Mudda ye hai ki sirf showoff ke liye "DOUBLE DECKER" tag wale train chalani nahi chahiye.
Agar usko sahi tarah se chalaya nahi gaya ya optimal tareeke se istemal nahi kiya gaya to ye bekar hai.
.
Lekin hame kuch DDs dekhne ko mile jo safal rahe jaise JP-DEE, ADI-BCT, MAS-SBC, LJN-ANVT, lekin clear kar dena chahiye ki ye safal nahi DOUBLE DECKER concept ke wajah se, balki AC train ki demand ki wajah se. JP-DEE me EC ke 2 shat bhi hain.
.
Aur ek aur baat
------------------
Consider karo abhi naye shuru huye LJN-ANVT DD ko jo 10 CC ke saath hai
Toh compare karo
10x120=1200 seats
15x78=1170 seats
Mera kehna hai ki ICF shat mein 15 coach aaram se chal sakte hain aur lagbhag utne hi log bhi le jayenge.
.
HBJ - INDB - BPL - INDB - HBJ ki thode coaches matra 3 hain jabki bataya gaya tha ki ye rush ko kam karegi
Kya majak hai!
Upar wale DD ki jagah ek simple ICE jo ki GEN, 2S, CC se bana ho, passengers ke liye kamaal ka hoga.
.
Isliye, Main suggest karunga ki jahan jarurat ho, catering charges ke bina ICF shat chalaye jaye.
.
Ab ye mojooda DD sirf mojoodi shat routes pe chalaye jaayein.
Maine suna hai ki DD ka nirman band ho gaya hai.
.
Ant mein, kuch positive scope bhi hai.
DDs waha bohot faydemand hai jahan ye 24 coach wali train ya zyada coaches wali train ko wahi suvidha and comfort provide kar sakti hain.
