1) Running of 137 Special Trains: SCR has already announced 101 originating Special Trains to be run during the month of October, 2013. In addition, 36 special trains will be passing through SCR during this period.Thus, the services of 137 special trains would be available for the passengers o­n SCR, apart from around 700 regular trains being run every day. It signifies a growth of 47% in the number of special trains being operated in Oct.2013 compared to Oct.2012, when 93 special trains were run(79 originating and 14 passing through).
These special trains will be operated o­n busy sectors, especially linking twin cities to various popular destinations such as Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Vijayawada, Machilipatnam, Renigunta, Mumbai, Kolkata, Nagercoil, Guwahati, Mangalore, Kollam etc. In addition, special trains will also be run between Tirupati and Aurangabad also. Theoriginating special trains will provide reserved berths / seats for around 1,11,872 extra passengers during October, 2013. Moreover, these special trains can cater to thousands of unreserved passengers also by way of travel in the general coaches.
2) Temporary Augmentation of Coaches: Based o­n an analysis of the Passenger Traffic Profile o­n various routes, temporary augmentation of composition of several Express trains is being done by attaching additional coaches.
During October, 2013, SCR will attach 1088 extra coachesby way oftemporary augmentation to many popular Express Trainsrunning o­n routes like Secunderabad-Tirupati; Hyderabad-Tirupati; Hyderabad-Narasapur; Hyderabad-Trivandram; Kacheguda-Yesvantpur; Kachiguda-Chitoor; Kacheguda-Chennai Egmore; Kacheguda-Akola; Tirupati-Machilipatnam; Tirupati-Karimnagar; Kakinada Town-Bangalore; H.S.

These additional coaches have already been fed into the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) and are available to the public for making reservations.
3) Attaching extra Coaches o­n a day-to-day basis: In addition to temporary augmentation of coaches as mentioned above, the waitlist position for different classes in various trains o­n busy routes is also being closely monitored o­n a daily basis.Extra coaches to the extent possible are being attached to the trains, which have long waiting list to help clear the waitlisted passengers o­n the travel day.
All the available resources are being put to maximum use to increase the number of trains/coaches so as to enhance the passenger carrying capacityon Railway system.
Through the above steps, around 2.4 lakhs additional passengers will get benefited with reserved accommodation o­n SCR’s originating /terminating trains, apart from thousands of other passengers travelling in the general coaches of the special trains during the month of October, 2013.
