more freight trains
◾Avg Pax Train Speed Expected to increase by around 10%
◾Trains with less than 50% occupancy on average in a year will not find any place in the network. If needed such trains will be merged with other, more popular trains.
◾Long-distance trains will ideally not have stops within 200 km of each other, unless there is a major city
◾All passenger trains will run on a “hub-and-spoke model”.
◾The “hubs” will be cities with a population of a million or more, where all long-distance trains will terminate
◾Smaller places will be linked to the hubs through connecting trains
◾Major tourist destinations and pilgrimage centres will be classified as hubs
◾ rationalisation of the use of the rolling. Trains will have either 22 or 24 ICF coaches
◾The timetable also envisages use of 18-coach overnight trains

Bangalore Mumbai can have stops at Arsikere, Davanagere, Hubli, Belgaum, Miraj, Karad, Pune only.
Chennai CAPE can have stops at Villupuram, Trichy, Madurai, Tirunelveli only!
What will happen to two dozen Mysore Bangalore (140 KMS) trains with 8 stops?
