Stoppage time won't work everywhere bhai. I know your thoughts are noble & in an ideal world it will help passengers to onboard, but in real sense a train which is already overloaded with passengers to the brim, its not going to help anyone...which seems to be the case here in the article as well.

What's the solution then, well, there is no magic wand to fix it immediately. I can go on saying creating multiple satellite terminals, capacity augmentation of tracks..but sadly all of them are long term fixes & require...

massive cost investment from the govt.

Best hope is to create multiple track systems (separate freight corridor) & during the festive season regulate the number of freights running...so that additional passenger trains can crawl one behind the other. Storable freight items like coal, cement etc has to be stocked in advance for our power stations so that they can compensate for these 10-14 days...

Maybe IR in future can use Oct Nov month as passenger trains priority months..and use Aug Sep to stock additional freight options by regulating passenger trains...not sure if that's a feasible approach. But just saying.

Else, let's wait till all major rail corridors get separate freight lines.

Bhai samasya ye hai, ki ye demand culture har gaadi ke liye ho gya hai.

Aise kayi stations hai, jahan pe halt ki zarurat nahi hai..kyunki wo sheher hi itna bada nahi hai ki jansankhya us train ko bhar sake. Phir bhi halt diya jata hai kyunki "agar train hamare station se Bina ruke chali gai to beizatti hogi". Aise me gaadi ki avg speed to Kam hoti hi Hai, congestion bhi badhta hai aur fir unreserved encroachment bhi hota hai in reserved class.
