The RSA with Pushpak will heavily affect Amravati's punctuality, cleanliness and safety, too.
Even if there's a major problem (except in AMI-CSTM), Amravati is a reliable train that will run on time. RSA will make this train dependent on Pushpak's arrival.
Also, due to short buffer timings between...
more... arrival and departure of these two trains, staff may not get sufficient time to clean all 24 rakes. It also affects the departure time.
And, Pushpak rakes runs 1424 kms in a single run, whereas Amravati rakes run mere 670 kms. Nearly half. Maintenance of rakes over a long period becomes an issue.
And the most important, the most clean rakes of Amravati would be discontinued.
Another issue is timing. The schedule of Amravati Exp is one of the most important factor in its popularity. The 20:05-08:15 timing is most favourable from the passengers who frequently travel by this train on every Friday's or short term holidays. The 22:05 would be better, but 09:05 should not happen.
But, the increase in coaches should come true and implemented earliest.
