It makes tremendous sense to combine these two trains and make it a daily SF express. If it can be extended further need to see availability of rakes / PM etc.

irifan2015~ 2365 blog postsNow that premiun trains are in SBC KLBG sector, why can't we have a SF between Bangalore and Mumbai?
8.5 hours for SBC KLBG, 1.15 for KLBG SUR, 6.5 for SUR CSMT , total 17.5 hours. Say 18 hours.
We can have a tri weekly to start with. SBC DEP 1230 KLBG 2130 SUR 2300 CSMT 0630. CSMT DEP 1100 SUR 1830 KLBG 2000 SBC 0500.

Instead of new trains, they can make two existing trains SF category, Udyan express and LTT - Coimbatore and cut down travel time to 17 hours between LTT and Bangalore. The number of intermediate stops are too many for these two trains and can actually make them to run in 16 to 17 hours without any changes to operating speeds.

A quick suggestion is to merge the following:
16515/Yesvantpur - Karwar Express
16516/Karwar - Yesvantpur Express
16539/Yesvantpur - Mangaluru Jn. Weekly Express
16540/Mangaluru...

Good thought to combine weekly, and special trains and make a single daily train with more seats offered to public. This needs to be sent to SWR CPRO for action
Pawan express is the best example of how Indian railways has failed in fulfilling the passenger needs. I travelled briefly last week from Manmad jn to Thane and entered SL class to see the horrible picture. In the Sleeper Coach in every berth, two people are sleeping. I am not joking. I tried to fight initially that I booked the SL ticket with the double occupant. I realised that the train runs like this from Bihar to Mumbai in all the Sleeper class coaches with two people sleeping and some times, one more person sitting. This is the state of affairs why Indian Railways failed to cater to the needs of common traveller. Indian Railways on an average denies ticket to at least 200,000 passengers on daily basis and it goes upto 500,000 people their choice to travel despite having the rolling stock, and the railway lines. It is apathy...

The Indian Railways has been transporting around 830 Crores of passengers per annum in the pre-Covid era and has declined to around 650 crores in 2023-24, which has seen around 180 Crores or around 50 lakh passengers per day. The major decline is felt in the Passenger Category trains, which had almost decreased by 1800 per day from around 3779 daily average passenger trains in 2018-19 to around 1974 trains per day in operation during 2023-24. This drastic reduction is due to two reasons, which are (1) upgrading some passenger trains operating above 200 kms distance into Mail/Express category trains and (2) elimination / closure of around 1300 passenger trains which are unviable due to lower occupancy levels and plying on unviable routes.

Why Railways are struggling with Waiting Lists / Overloading in SL class:
Technically, around 1195 Mail / Express Category trains on a daily average basis are eliminated with around 1200 berths per trains, thus eliminating close to 14 lakh berths. These are mainly from Sleeper Class category and General Seating category, thus increasing the passenger load pressure into SL category berths. An introduction of around 1,200 new train services can only compensate or improve railways carrying capacity back to around 830 Crores per annum or 2.3 Crores per day capacity. There is...

Any Mail/Express trains can not have more than 15 stops and SF or any luxury trains like Rajdhani, SK, AC Express, etc to have max 10 intermediate stops irrespective of the distance they travel. Otherwise, Both passengers as well as Railways lose economically. Reoptimise all routes with this rule and one can accommodate another 1000 trains and put a full stop to waiting list. No need to wait for 6 more years
The Rail budget has to be brought back to make Railway Board, Zonal Railways, Railway Minister, and the Indian government, state governments, etc accountable to public. They have even not publishing data which was earlier available through Raildrishti. The system became opaque and unaccountable. People are suffering. Let them increase fares of SL and 2S and general class tickets if really Railways is incurring losses in passenger segment. Is railways making profits in Freight segment? Why even after getting 2.4 lakhs crores of funds from general budget, Railways scrapped 3000 trains daily and could introduce only 39 VB trains or 78 services till 2023-24. Railways massively failed to cater to the needs of people as there is no budget, there is no railways annual report, no accountability.
