Railways should seriously stop having ‘creative’ ideas. All those are just worthless, borderline bullshit. No train of GaribRath can be said to be successful as a whole. Duronto and Tejas, which were brought on for supposed ‘competing with Airlines’ have failed miserably and after adding flexifare stupidity, even the traditionally popular Rajdhanis and Shatabdis are failing big time. Plus instead of using this ‘extra’ income, the maintenance is very pathetic indeed. So much so that some zones and divisions have their reputation preceding them. I, when see a train belonging to SR, try to avoid it. There are many more examples. Even today as we discuss 12618 Mangala had a faulty suspension spring in one it’s coaches and was only halted after a TTE noticed it!
This...
more... is absolutely terrible and must be stopped at once
