Coach Cutting Scheme In Cr Zone
Ideally train should have below pattern/allocation of coach.
1)Sleeper- 40%.
2)3AC or 3AE- 30%. only 1 category is enough,if route has demand than run dedicated AC train with extra fare and extra speed.
4)2AC + 1AC combo should be 20% as demand of 2AC is increased .
5)General...

In any daily express train they are 2 GS coaches with 100 seats each but at any point of time they are 200 passengers occupied so if it is to be converted into GS sitting reserved the number of coaches should be 4 which is 20% of the coach length of 20 coach rake. and fare should be hiked by 50%. Sleeper 40% means 8 coaches.and 8 AC coaches . To strike balance 10AC and 10 Non AC should be ideal composition with 7SL.and 3GS. The present trains are stopping at intervals of 20-50km avg distance and there is no point of converting them into full AC train and then introducing Amrit Bharat with non AC stopping at all stations. Instead introduce AC trains with 15 AC coaches in alternate days with stoppages 100km -200km which can be upgraded from 130kmph to 150kmph in future with base fare of 15%...
