Re# 5118290-10              
In today's world time is most important factor and a working day equals to Rs 1000-5000 depending on the income factor for journey of 24 hrs and above travellers are willing to put for the air fare to stay in office/family/home. So air travel is bound to increase. Railways should concentrate more on distances of 500-1000 which should be completed within 15hrs overnight and able to reach the destination between 500 to 900 and leave at 1700 to 2300 for higher classes to retain and these distance slabs attract the highest income per km run.

** Railways has missed golden opportunity to make good use of LHB coaches after making huge investment in procurement of such coaches as well as the transfer of technology.
** IR could use of LHB coaches for M/E/SF trains and operated them at 130kmph on Rajdhani/Shatabdi routes (NDLS-BCT/HWH/MAS etc routes) rather than randomly allotting such coaches sometimes to to slower express trains.
** LHB trains continue to be operated at 110 kmph even on Rajdhani routes

Re# 5118290-12              
**IR usually brand some trains as special trains at its whims and fancies and charge higher than normal fares. Many times such trains have longer journey times, old coaches, no pantry car facilities and poor punctuality.
** Charges should be based on the economic value of the service and not just the branding of the train.
** Travellers shall pay higher charge for some speciality which may be faster speed, shorter journey time, convenient arrival/departure timings, better/comfortable interiors, better on board facilities like pantry car, wi-fi, etc.

Re# 5118290-13              
** IR could have charged higher base fare for such (LHB-130kmph operated) trains within line with Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains for higher speed, safer coaches and better interiors.
** People could have readily paid higher fares for such trains for the time saved, better comforts & safer journey.
** In fact many of such trains could been operated close on the heels of Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto expresses.

Re# 5118290-14              
** High Speed Trains are the best answer for short distance fast trvel..
** Upto 1000kms, a 350 KMPH HST and Air travel practically take same end to end journey after accounting for checkout time and time taken to reach airports which are far off as compared to Rly stns which are usually located at city center.
** 350kmph HST is an environment friendly option but the huge investment warrants heavy traffic flow to the tune of 1 lacs per day

Europe has successfully embarked on the low cost double decker trains operating at 330kmph which is likely to be even more successful in India with much lower per capita income.
