Dear Sir,
Why Stoppage of 22222/1 CSMT Rajdhani Express at GWALIOR Junction is justified
1. Bhopal/Habibganj, Jhansi has more than 15 trains, we have 7 train only 1 superfast once in week.
2. Travelling with Punjab Mail is compulsion, as it is always late, i will not talk about, Amritsar Dadar Express - Railway can check their punctuality and you can come back if...
more... they have reached right time any day
3. We are the 2nd city on the route which is connected to Mumbai by Airways so passengers are there, after Bhopal- We can pay premium price
4. Gwalior provides more/equal revenue to Railways than Jhansi and Agra - still no halt given
5. Cancer Hospital, Gwalior patients want to travel from Gwalior to TaTa Memorial Cancer, Mumbai for better treatment - they can reach fast and on time
6. Timings are matching with other Rajdhani and Duronto’s which stops here. - No question of timing clash, viability of stop is no question, operations feasibility is quite comfortable
7. This train is for intermediate stations to get connected with Mumbai, because fare wise, distance wise, time wise nobody would like travel from Mumbai to Delhi and vice versa with this train. I mean very few passengers
8. Gwalior has been always neglected and considered last when stoppages are decided, when i say your approach is bias I have following questions
-No lift installed
- Escalators remains in apathy
- Singrauli Express 22167/68 MP Train denied halt at Gwalior being biggest MP City enroute.
This in spite of the fact that Jhansi Agra already have these facilities from last 3 years
9 On the route Gwalior is 4th largest city after Bhopal, Agra and Nasik as per Population -still no halt
10. Within a distance of 200 km in UP you have provided 2 halts, whereas in MP 800 KMs only 1 stop, stop between Gwalior and Bhopal would be 400 KMs away.
11. In UP - Agra and Jhansi provided halt, Why in MP- Bhopal and Gwalior can’t be provided halt.
12. Even LTT-Nizamuddin AC SF 22109/ 22110 has more passengers from Gwalior than Bhopal/Agra/Jhansi
13. CSMT Rajdhani Express has vacant seats starting from H. Nizamuddin, whereas all trains from Gwalior in 3 AC has waiting
14. Train covers 800 kms in MP and only 1 stop, in UP train covers only 300 kms - 2 stops.
15. Is Railway for the people??? If yes than immediately provide stoppage, if no than it means there is political compulsion and ineffectiveness
Thanks and regards
