The Garib Rath AC Chair Car coaches could actually be better utilized in Intercity trains to replace some of the 2S coaches.

The current 3+3 individual seating configuration in the Garib Rath Chair car is very cramped and neither gets the reclining option as regular EC/CC.

The

individual bucket seats could be done away and seating could be designed as per the Old ICF 2S bench seat type (some of the LHB 2S coaches have it) where it's easier to slide in luggage underneath.

Similar to the 3E coach, fares can be constituted in between CC and 2S and far more passengers would be able to travel in air-conditioned class this way.

This RSA needs to be relooked at.

17235/6 SMVB NCJ Exp would be a much better pairing train for both Island Exp and SWR alike.

Would also allow Seshadri's spare rake to

be better utilized elsewhere such as running a new daily between SMVB and VSKP or increasing the frequency of 17211/2.

MS-CAPE should be run with 2 independent rakes if SR does not prefer to restore RSA with Pearl City.

need to fight back and change the PM to MS for this train. A single dedicated two rakes for CAPE express until Thoothukudi maintanence is ready.

So Pearl City is a dedicated rake ?

Re# 6053294-20              
Getting things done within the turn around time also requires adequate maintenance crew availability. SMVT was built with supposedly state-of-art infrastructure but both premises and other zone trains suffer from lack of basic maintenance.

When Island and CAPE-MS were in RSA before 2019, and SWR deployed OBHS, it was only upto CAPE. If there is more staff allocation to cover both pair of trains, things might improve.

IndiaтАЩs first AC railway station: where did they go wrong?

Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal (SMVT) is India's first centrally air conditioned railway station, designed to look like an airport.

South Western Railways
...

(SWR) spent 6 years and over 300 crores to build SMVT, so its disappointing to see how many issues there are with its design. At a first glance, the building looks like an airport, but as you get closer and start using the space you realize that it does a poor job of all the basics.

ItтАЩs difficult to reach, uncomfortable to wait at, and its confusing to navigate. Lots of space and material have been used but instead of creating value they feel incomplete and wasteful.

This video is an exploration of the 'Overengineering & underdesigning' trend that seems to dominate the urban construction industry right now. We argue that tools and policies have led to a construction style that builds spaces for vehicles, often at the cost of building for people. Buildings in this style tend to inconvenience people.

There is still room for a bypass line on the eastern flank of the station. The trains can't however use the existing PFs and you would need to do create an additional access point in the East like they did for KCVL.
