No matter how many lanes you create but without flyover & sub-way etc the traffic gonna get choked (as like toll plaza)!! 3/4 Lane only will not work when Freight ex Corridor & Naini/Chunar will merge on mainline along with JBP side passenger traffic..remember they cross over Trunk Line..and they still will irrespective of how many track you lay!!
Freight Corridor connection ex DDU may ease for a while but will not offload JBP Passenger Traffic!!

Re# 5598727-5              
New Terminal always is pain as it divert trains feasible for connectivity from main stations.
JBP incoming trains at PCOI needs underpass not to block UP/DN track for signal clearance. Further holding line need to exist between Karchana-Cheoki so JBP bound trains dont choke track for clearance!! JBP UP/DN Twin line parallel to trunk from PCOI with DDU bound track cross trunk via underpass later on could eliminate issue to great extent. Usually trains get delayed between Karchana-PCOI!!

Agree
Seems 12001/2 got RSA with 12011/2 Kalka Shatabdi. Rake with Coach in sync for no alteration need at Yard...and today Kalka Shatabdi revised to depart at 11:30 AM (3 hours delay). BPL (4:51 AM) & LJN (4:10 AM) Shatabdi report late but will depart RT while Kalka Shatabdi got no reason to delay other than RSA (just like JAT Raj traveler suffer coz of delayed DBRT Raj yesterday and like many days). LJN Shatabdi Rake altogether different for RSA to happen & must alot spare rake with Coach altercation!!
PS: Spare Rake is to assist 1 day break for NDLS based Shatabdi without which they may never run daily,!!

One more Additional AC-2 Tier Coach augmented in Visakhapatnam-Kacheguda-Visakhapatnam Express
This Train Should be Speeded Up as well VSKP RYP this train has 61 Avg Speed but between RYP KCG it is 51 only With LHB and 130 it can arrive KCG By 6.15 am They Should Remove Slack Between KZJ and KCG currently This Train Takes 3h50 Min To Cover around 140 Km, Even With Slack And 130KMPH It can KZJ KCG in 2h40 Min making KCG arrival 6.15am Overall Avg speed will be around 61

Re# 5558291-27              
@All: PF Unavailability, LHB, 130 KMPH, Extension here and there (this & that) etc but the reality is:
This train remain delayed (like others in between VSKP-BZA/WL) & has to get OT by Charminar & Cocanada. Only one slack exists & that's in MJF-KCG (to address 30-40 Mins average delay) but It never held @ MJF if arrives BT!!

Re# 5558291-31              
And why its held there? Usually to clear way for Charminar & Cocanada!!
PF meant for 17639/41 PF is empty for 1+ hour to let this train enter @ 6:20 AM and move to Pit Line @ 6:40!!
Train don't need 5:40 hours for 337 Kms even at 90 KMPH!! But all these discussions are mixed with fantasy instead of real happenings!! Its extension is none of my business!!

I don't know what AP AC Exp discussion you speaking which must have happened few years back!! As said, you guys reply unrelated history when your myths been framed!!
Train's 7:25 ARR ex KCG is not linked with PF availability but rather its schedule to get OT by Charminar & Cocanada & to leverage this disturbance, it got slack in MJF-KCG (but instead fantasy reasons been posted)!! First these OTs be stopped and then ARR/DEP/Extension comes in picture!!

Re# 5558291-41              
I wish to see that post!! So true: It was quite impossible hence AP Exp got it's schedule revised: does it depart at morning now??
Do come out of history: It's not impossible for KCG SF..avoid overtakes & then no need for 40 minutes slack at last leg!! Its not linked to PF limitations or extension the way this blog speaks!!

Re# 5558291-42              
True. Cocanada & NED SF does the same way..but alas Charminar & Cocanada OT delays it to utilize that slack (which usually isn't needed at Non Cocanada days)!!
PS: Charminar got slack in SC-HYB coz it terminates at HYB but majority deboard ex SC!!

/blog/post/5558291 Extension wasn't included in my posts but absurd theory of PF unavailability which keep train KCG arrival past 7:00 AM was picked!!

Re# 5557666-13              
SL unprofitability: Usually SL in most trains are jamp packed.. Floor, vestibules, SLB/LB got stuffed to the level which makes 300% or more of earmarked capacity!! With less of ICE/MEMU in non-metro (or suburb of metro), these SL turn out the way for MST/GEN travelers whose contribution is tough to calculate!!
SL traveler pocket: Agents make fortune & got established business by overcharge which eventually is paid by travelers. Rs. 500 ticket charged at Rs. 1000+. Let Fare increase but then SL traveler be ensured of fair booking!!
Service: With service at its

least (delay/dirty toilets/No water etc), it's easy for AC traveler to switch budget flight but not for SL traveler to switch AC or even Bus!!

Not against you, replied you as addition
1. If Given able to handle red tapism, BSNl & other likes would be profitable at least since 5, years (like Patanjali/Jio)!!
2. Pension is not just a clause or part of agreement but there is deduction from salary. How much PF/Pension is claimed is another story. And Govn has raised these PF/Pension as market capitals for years!!
3.

more...
Allowance: None speak about politician allowance, expenditure, bungalows, pension etc.
5. Its critical that opposition isn't at unison on this issue. SL is stuffed like Mumbai Locals in almost all trains!! They empower migration by centralising industry to specific zones and then treat those workers as mere labourers..
