Sir, sometimes we find that pit lines are close to the existing platforms.Is it possible that even pit lines can be sometimes convered to platforms in such cases where suffcient space is availabe bet.existing platform and pit line.So that same pit line can be used as platform in busy time and also for maintaince work in other time? thanks. Kapadia Ji Instead of saying what are the uses of pit lines as asked by the blogger you are describing the state of Trivandrum stations's Pit line and not describing for what the pit line aree used for. If Pit Line are close to Platfrom or Local/Sourcing train can be started, then the Pit Line can be hifted & the original one can be converted into Platform!!! In NDLS, this process is on-going!!! Most Pit Lines, in between Platform has been converted into Platform!!! Vide # 33334 dt. 22.4.2010, the views were exressed by many including mine being a original blogger of that blog post ... about Hapa Tirunelveli Express/ 2998 - a newly started service by the Rlys.

Tirunelvelli-Happa train 2997/8 is not a WEEKLY train it is a BI-WEEKLY train. Recently i was trvelling in this train and was found to have more tamil people (more than 50%) passengers going towards Tirunelvelli, Nagarcoil, and even to Madurai from Gujrath and Maharashtra regions. The train Hapa - Tirunelveli - was initially launched as weekly train and later it has been made bi-weekly. @ As such any route - any train .. passengers are so many that Railways will get them anyway. Particularly any number of trains on Gujarat /Saurashtra to Mumbai is far far success and high revenue earner for Rlys. @ What is more important is that how many are end to end passengers ? Most of the pasengers are intermediate stop passengers .. and very... more... This train was announced in the budget as BI WEEKLY train and due to the lack of rake it was started as weekly and then into bi weekly. |
