Re# 5781240-20              
Yes I agree but one day or the other it is bound to happen if railways wants to achieve high speeds and compete with air sector of the same country. Otherwise sooner or later air sector would make its way. I remember once Civil Aviation Minister Mr. Scindia stated that the day is not far when every citizen of the country would travel by air or somewhat like this statement he gave.

Agree Agree
Yeah but the process should have been a gradual one like keeping 5 to 6 SL coaches and initially only doing rake standardization in SF trains only then spreading to M/E trains. It should have been planned properly now they have reduced SL to 2 but the WL they allow is still over 100.
Also two other steps they should have taken are hiking SL class fares and reserving all GS coaches in SF and M/E trains like in covid and subsequently raising the fares of 2S too.
Also railways should

stop giving subsidies in fares for anyone apart from physically disabled persons. Even railway employees should not be given free train travels if they are running into losses.

Re# 5781240-22              
Don't reduce the AC coaches but remove the 2 parcel vans we will be left with just 18 LHB coaches then add three more SL and one GS. Also reduce the WL in SL class and convert the GS to 2S. RPF and TTEs to ensure strictly that WL and UR pax don't enter the fully reserved train thereafter.

Yes, this should have been implemented long back, atleast 15-18 years ago. Gradually they should have removed one by one, after each 3-4 years

Also things like LHB conversion, DFCs, doubling, tripling, quadrapling, new line projects which are implemented now should have been done long back but instead they focussed only on introducing new and new trains adding new category of trains without anyone giving a serious thought on capacity expansion. Also Railways should have gradually raised fares in SL and GS classes too in accordance with the inflation over the years. But they didn't do any unfortunately and we are in the mess now.

As expected.

Booking has reopened for Goa Express after 15th June, 2024.

Number of Sleeper Coaches have been increased from 2 to 6 .
...
more...

3rd AC Economy Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 2.

3rd AC Coaches have been reduced from 4 to 1

2nd AC coaches have been reduced from 2 to 1

Total AC Coaches Earlier: 11

Total AC Coaches now: 5

BAD day for those who are dreaming for India as developed nation till 2047.

A person who is ready to pay 3115 and in PT, this amount reach upto even 10000 will now have to look for other options just because INDIAN RAILWAYS want a person who wants to pay just 825 can travel.

Economy works on demand price relationship but in Indian Railways they are satisfying demand of that class which is paying just 825 and not even able to support there own cost of travel.

A person who could have contributed 10000 Rupees to Government using that government can feed 10 passengers of those category who just want to pay 825, Now will pay the same or more amount to some private operator which will result more financial losses to government and more earning for businessmen.


I will say that now Third Class coaches should also be reintroduced to more poor population can travel.

रेलवे कर्मचारियों के लिए तो एक बहुत बड़े बदलाब की जरूरत है। रेलवे में करप्शन बहुत ही ज्यादा है। किसी भी प्रोजेक्ट में 50% साफ करप्शन की भेंट चढ़ जाता है जिसमे प्राइवेट ठेकेदार से लेके सरकारी अधिकारी तक सभी शामिल है।
इसके अतरिक्त रेलवे में बहुत सारे कर्मचारी ऐसे है जिनके लिए दिन में 2 घंटे भी काम alloted नही किया है तथा कुछ ऐसे है जिनकी कम काम में भी बहुत ज्यादा सैलरी है।
कुछ ऐसे भी है जिनसे बहुत ज्यादा काम लिया जा रहा है और उनकी सैलरी काफी कम

Bhai Ameer log train mein travel nahi karte. Aur agar ameeron se itni hi nafrat hai toh unke tax ke paiso se jo bhi suvidhayein milti hai voh lena band kar do. Iss train ke AC classes mein bahut sare middle class aur upper middle class log travel karte the. Iske AC coaches full chal rahe the itne AC coaches Kam karne ki jarurat nahi thi.

In total 5 SL and 3 GS plus coaches were more than enough for this train. But keeping only one 3rd AC coach is a very bad decision.
