True rather than planing here for 4 months same plan logic is applied in flights
Also another reason could be keeping the wait listed passengers in suspense till journey date on confirming the berth.
Fuel wont get recover in near future. OPEC expecting 80 dollor per barrel by 2020 only that means another 5 years. That's also not known as alternate energy hitting market. So railways will get tough competition from budget airlines for next decade also.
yes.
Actually airlines in some sectors is much better than trains. Example for next week Banglore to Vizag its cost 1611 rs where as getting ticket in AC class for next week from SBC-VSKP is very difficult. Flight fare cheaper than Tatkal 3A in this sector.
Also as its 20 hrs journey, 2 times food is required. That means minimum 200 rs plus water ,Tea, Sancks bottels 50 rs minimum per person ( Actually it will be more).
