I think Garib Rath's honeymoon period was long over. New coaches aren't made, I guess, for this train and new trains of this type no longer introduced. It made sense on routes that already had Mail/Express and AC trains and it acted as a tertiary train. [On some routes like Lucknow - Raipur, it was introduced as the first train which makes no sense].

My gripe with Garib Rath is that it targets no one. It is expensive for General and SL folks. It is in a way, more uncomfortable than SL...
more...
due to the inclusion of side middle berth[ which leads to more people, more luggage and ultimately a sense of suffocation ]. It can't compete with 2A or 1A passengers either who want luxury. Hence, I always thought that GR trains were aimed at no one in particular. It missed a certain segment.It 'may' make sense to continue running them on certain routes as long as they are viable but IMO, they should be removed and replaced on routes where they are the only link.

IR should slowly replace it's aging GR fleet with mostly LHB SL coaches with a few 3A coaches here and there. That would make more sense. 4 GN, 9SL, 4 third AC,1 second AC would be IMO, a better config.

    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.
