In recent days I've seen unhealthy obsession of members with trains and stations.

For example the Vikramshila guy, he left the site over a stoppage rumor. The Malda guy, he's inconsolable after Farakka went to BLGT. The Ara, Patna and Sasaram guys, they think people are jealous of a city they probably won't even visit. The Kakinada and Khammam guys, they went on abusing other cities. Or the anti Vande Bharat guy, leaving no stone unturned to create controversy.
...
more...

At the end of the day, trains are just a transport medium. They'll get extended if railways sees the feasibility or even if strong politics is involved.

Trains aren't some status symbol, regular people don't even care if they're sitting in some random special or a named train as long as it takes them to their destinations.

You can get a thousand trains, or maybe get none e.g. Rajgir area, but will that change what the city has to offer? Or what is the potential of that city? Or what are the living standards of people in that city? No.

As I've commented earlier, trains aren't life. Being a fan is okay, but making them a matter of life or ego is equally bad.

Hope people understand this and indulge in constructive discussions. Many older members have already left this site, due to the undue politics and controversies. If that keeps happening all that will remain is a fish market with no knowledgeable source in sight.

In the end it's mostly political support which can get your new trains or extend existing ones or in some cases extensions or terminal changes happen due to operational issues.
Also you are right that trains are not life but they are just a small part of life for most people and slightly bigger for railfans. There are much more important things to focus in life than just trains and railfanning. I think it's most of the young teenage folks that are making it an obsession.

Another 20 car VB got dispatched from ICF!
IR really on a mission to replace Shatabdi it seems.
Summary : 9 VBs are ready to roll including two 20 Car VB trains which remains unallocated to any zones until now.

Yeah also it's a mistake for converting MG to BG lines. They should have kept it at that only. Why should a poor man get the benefits of LHB technology they were much better with the independence era tech of ICF coaches.

They should also merge Shatabdi and VB categories into one.
Later on also Rajdhani, Durontos and AC SF trains, etc should be merged in a single category with SL VB trainsets.

I think people tend to forget or miss the fact that Goa along with large number of tourists also sees a lot of migration and migrants are spread across the rural and urban areas of Goa not restricted to Madgaon alone. So Madgaon getting all the trains when other stations exist is not alright.

Fake news spread by one of the usual suspects. Indian Railways should really file defamation cases against such news portals.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
