Agree Great:Very Good Decision. Great Great:Good Descision Great:good decision finally Disagree:Good Move
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.

6 AC coaches reduced but SL increased by 4, then what about remaining 2 coaches, are they going to be unreserved?

Useful
IMO 4 GS for Goa Express is bit too much. 3 GS would be good, for a train like Goa Express 5 AC coaches seems low, 6-7 AC coaches would've been much better. If VSG Depot can handle 22 coacher rake then 2 AC coaches should get added in this and 1 HCPV can be replaced with another SL coach.

Re# 6008540-4              
What kind of weird route they are suggesting.
BPL-UJN-DWX then RTM, there is no direct route from DWX to RTM its via UJN only
The route that will make more sense would be via ET-BPL-MKC-DWX(reversal)-UJN-NAD-RTM. But DWX is not that big station which can handle reversal.

Re# 6005098-2              
100% Agree. But our bad luck is that even Bhopal's public representatives are not paying attention towards this issue. BPL Div sends proposal for dedicated trains to Bengaluru, Patna, Varanasi, Mumbai almost every year but still trains are not been sanctioned. Bhopal only gets trains at the time of election in 2018 we got Humsafars, and in 2023 got VBs. Its been over 6 months that Nishatpura station is ready but because of Politicians its not getting inaugurated.
Althouh Bhopal may get some dedicated trains in future as following Infra works are going on
-IOH
...
more...
Shed at RKMP (under construction)
-Pitline upgradation from Conventional to Electrified CAMTECH Pit is in progress at RKMP
-2 New 24 coach CAMTECH Pits are planned for BPL Station (current status of approval is still unknown)
-Vande Bharat Maintenance Shed is under construction at SHRN.

Still a lot of space is available at Nishatpura Yard and near RKMP and at Misrod to build more pitlines if Infra is the only bottleneck for introducing new trains.

I hope Bhopal gets its due after completion of above works. Bhopal seriously requires train to
-Mumbai Daily (4 day to CSMT and 3 day to MMCT)
-Pune Daily (Increasing HS frequency or introducing Sleeper VB on this route)
-Ahmedabad/Rajkot (3 days atleast)
-Patna (via CNB,PRYJ, BSB) Daily
-Regularization of AGTL Special
-Bengaluru (1 day via SC, 1 day via MAS)
-Trivandrum weekly via KR
-SVDK Bi weekly
-Morning train to Indore
-MEMU to ET,KNW,GUNA,SGO,UJN

    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. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
