Entire social media for the past few days is filled with videos of travellers on trains struggling for space across all classes.
The absolute dead silence on this matter from the Railways and the Rail Minister is only making it worse.

Ironically, years of government amplifying the videos of Vande Bharat (a good service nonetheless) has been completely smashed right at the time

of elections by these scenes playing out.

I just travelled on 11302 (not even on a weekend) from Bangalore to Mumbai, and while I was fortunate enough to be on coach A2, the general and sleeper coaches and even 3AC until Kalaburgi looked like a scene from hell.

Sure, one major cause is the reduction of sleeper/general coaches but this government as per data compared to earlier governments has performed exceptonally on the front of electrification and track Doubling/Tripling - What is the use when new trains are not being added on this newly created track capacity?

How does one manage to mess it up this bad?

Earlier this case was limited only to Bihar and Purvanchal region trains, but nowadays every train is been suffering through this worse. It's not just because of reduction of sleeper/general coaches, but even the improvement in economic conditions have led the people to think that they should even travel comfortably (whether alone or in family, whether with one bag or whole household).

And the irony is that, the Antyodaya Express, which was meant to fulfill the general coach rush was running so much empty for many routes that finally most of

I don't have anything to do with your matter, but just one thing I would say, sometimes few things are done beyond self interest...if he's concerned about that train, so you may either criticise or support as per your choice...but don't let bar him from posting....

See, don't take my words in otherwise sense ....
I know how it feels when a good train of ours gets extended to some other city, just for one's selfishness. ... At the end, there is not any IR official sitting over here who can hear our words....Things which you can now do is that,
Just pray for its on time run, ticket availability and now speak only occasion... extensions of trains nowadays is just like fashion trends

On observing the deteriorating condition of 13288/87 due to biased extension till Ara, I propose following solutions:

1) Reverting back the Og train to RJPB n running new train from ARA to Durg via DDU, PCOI, STA, KTE, APR, USL n R.

2)
...

The og train would go Ara only on weekends and RJPB for weekdays

3) Demand for clone train for the same above.

Bcoz all of the arguments and debates above, it's the lifeline of people of Chhatisgarh n Odisha.
