Good information. I would like to know the progress as of now on the Guage conversion on sector - Dhasa to Jetalsar - which is undergoing for quite many months. Plz inform if you have any information on this.
Secondly, Rlys spent crores of rupees on Guage convresion. But Why ? There is no answer for this why in the case of Guage conversion on the sector - Dhola-Mahuva (152 kms) which has been completed and opened up for commercial passenger trains for last 3 years. But yet, at present, only one weekly - long distance is running i.e. Mahuva-Surat. The Railways ought to try to milch this route and cover up the cost...
more... incurred on Guage conversions. Even there is a need to have a slip route (coaches for Mahuva) on the Bhavnagar -Mumbai Express Train. Or the train for a weekly train between Mahuva-Surat be extended to Bandra (Mumbai) and made daily train. The proposal is very much lying with the WR Zonal office but the dream appears to be at distance.
Railways receives lots of demand for guage conversion, new train routes but here the situation is favourable and positive for Railways. No such expenditure as ready made tracks (waiting for more rakes to run on) -- only trains to be operated.
