Feeling Cute....
Might start a blog on How Politics, Particular Party, Region, some Railfans etc are destroying Indian Railways by Increasing AC Coaches by replacing them with existing Sleeper Coaches, introducing empty Vande Bharat Trains, introducing empty Tejas Trains, introducing empty Humsafar Trains, Closing down Garib Rath Trains ................ Without actually providing any data.... Without actually doing anything like filing of PIL or even RTI....... ENTIRELY being a Keyboard Warrior in the comforts of my Home........... Haven't yet traveled in trains I'm calling empty..................
..... If someone calls out my bluff I'll simply

tell them to Google it themselves or call them rich people with anti Poor mindset or Government Supporters........ Without actually completely reading what those people are saying..... All because it's trending.

I too have left 3a some time ago & SL long time before. Though still I book 3ac but only when journey is b/w 2300 hrs to max 0600 hrs, that too SU berth & in unpopular routes. Can't dare to take a 3ac journey for even 5 hrs in Mumbai - Prayagraj route or Delhi - Patna route. SL only if its very short distance & train is less crowded (like in last leg of its journey) or if I am in Rajasthan, I can give it a try.
Gone are the days (pre 2015/16) when even a journey from Ranchi to Yesvantpur was done in super packed SL of 12835 HTE - YPR SF.

Regarding rake standardization, what they messed up is they are trying to change too rapidly. 9-11 SL to directly 2 SL. They could have continued with atleast 7 SL, 3 UR & rest as AC coaches.

Along with it run some Antyodaya trains on main line.

Reintroduce AC express concept on some routes.

Plan VBs bit more effectively, give aggressive TT, better food, try to keep avg speed of atleast 75 kmph on 110 MPS & 90 kmph avg on 130 MPS (do not give unnecessary slack, only little bit in end). Given the priority, they dont need slack.

& last, Try to increase Non - AC coach fares bit by bit (protest may be there by political parties but not that much by common man), can be done in the 1st yr of govt. formation, if don't want to take risk in last year.

GS and SL fares are discounted by 50% and 40% an increase of 5% in base fare every year and Half AC and Half Non AC will solve the problem to great extent. Subsidy of petrol, diesel, cooking gas are increased gradually and people are used to pay higher fare. The fare of 3ACE should be that of GR so that SL will upgrade without much pain or pinch of money and 2SL can be reduced each year from 7SL.

At same time labour laws regarding minimum pay should be passed

by centre and increased by 5-10% every year with skill level. Last month met a teacher working in Govt school under contract from 10yrs being paid Rs 15000 under Sarva Siksha Abhiyan with included PF and not paid on time every month. All the housekeeping, support staff and outsourced attendent posts in Govt as well as private are paid Rs 15000 in every state which are revised once in 5yrs.

To improve Lean Season Occupancy of Duronto Express, not that it needed one.
More experimentation can be done on Normal Trains than Premium Trains hence we have this.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
