This may not be preferred train for people from TATA to RKSN and then from CTC to VSKP, because they have many other options. But for people from RKSN - CBSA - DPS - BSPX - KDJR - HCNR - JKPR - CTC belt have no other options. This train is the only option these people have. So, for these people, travelling by this train is compulsion.

Today, Booking Status for date - 05/05/2024 in this train from VSKP to TATA are - SL - WL54, 3E - WL9, 3A - WL27,

2A - WL2, whereas earlier, 50% seats always remained available in this train. What does this mean? Nowadays people are preferring this train more than before and this train is now running to its full capacity.

No problem regarding demand. But What about punctuality? From more than an year this train is facing the problem of timing and people will not prefer to travel end to end, first of all day time travel, second delay, due to which odd time arrivals happen.

Re# 6050678-8              
Delay occurs with this train because it's time table is wrong. Many sections are there where trains have maximum speed limits. But in order to make it quality as superfast train and in order to levy superfast surcharge, speed of this train has forcibly been kept more than the maximum speed limits in those sections. So delay has to occur. Remove superfast tag and let this train arrive Tata around 9:30 am with same departure time of 3:30 pm from VSKP. Then see how timely it will run. I had told earlier also that this train used to run timely before getting converted into superfast, because at that time the time table was made correctly.

India’s 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
...
more...
(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.

It’s 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.

Regarding the reach to this stn is now working out fine... cause I recently visited the stn and u have seen the pics shared there.... it's crowded and there r metro feeder buses to and fro SMVT... proper connecting roads r there to this stn.... so I don't find this a huge problem... this is what I've observed....

W.r.t. other points mentioned in the group, IMO they're trying to get the building that fall under the Amrit Bharat Scheme in terms of the modernisation of the stns.... but yes I've seen some

automatic doors not functioning properly and the stn is not well maintained on terms of cleanliness and aesthetics.... that needs to be hugely improved....👍

Clear example of how not to design.
YPR Hosur line on the outer periphery (Benniganahalli overhead line) could have been connected with a C or U link to SMVT, so that Hosur line gets connected to Yelahanka and KJM line (without loco reversal).
If this was made, trains could have moved from Hosur to Chennai or Salem to Hyderabad via SMVT DMM route.

See he looks to be an architect and his points are based on how convenient is the so called modern building to the travellers and is useful.
1. The entrance to the PF s the entry and exit doors should be void of pillars in between for seamless movement of travellers.
2. There is a stair case to first floor which is not straight and in zig zag route confusing passengers
3.
...
more...
Washrooms are hidden behind and no clear signage.
4. There is lots of space available but no seating arrangement and people are sqatting all over the premises.
5. The arrival and dep of some trains are odd such that people have to stay in station premises for long without proper amenities.

already had the distinction of loco shed & train having the same name i.e. Howrah based loco (WAP4 / WAP 7) hauling their most prestigious train, Howrah Rajdhani Express. After Sealdah got its own share of WAP-7 locomotives, rail enthusiasts have been dreaming of this one day when a Sealdah WAP -7 will haul Sealdah Rajdhani. Finally, all our prayers have been answered and ER bags one more distinction of such loco+train combination.
