As the CSMT station has extended the platforms 10 and 11 with successful interlocking completed on June 2, 2024, the much required and long pending expansion of the rakes of CSMT - Hyderbad Deccan SF express 22731 and 22732, and CSMT Hyd Hussain Sagar express 12701 /12702 to 24 coaches trains from current 16 coach rakes. Since these two trains have rake sharing and can be expanded by adding 3E and SL coaches (four each) to improve the availability of the berths on daily basis. This is as good as adding one new train of 16 coaches. Also, the running time of 13 hours 57 minutes is too long for a distance of 770 kms. All other intercity trains say between Mumbai - Nagpur, Delhi - Varanasi, Jaipur - Bandra SF completes similar distances within 12 hours. We request the authorities at both SCR and CR to increase speed of...

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, check it out! CSMT station just leveled up platforms 10 and 11, you know what I'm saying? The upgrade went smooth on June 2, 2024. They finally expanded the CSMT - Hyderbad Deccan SF express 22731 and 22732, and CSMT Hyd Hussain Sagar express 12701 /12702 to run with 24-coach trains instead of the old 16-coach ones. These two trains share rakes, so by throwing in some more coaches like 3E and SL (four of each), they can hook it up with more berths each day. It's like having a whole new 16-coach train rollin'.
But real talk, it takes too damn long for these trains to cover just 770 kms - 13 hours and 57 minutes? That's wack! Other intercity trains like Mumbai - Nagpur, Delhi - Varanasi, Jaipur - Bandra SF be clocking similar distances in just 12 hours. We should hit up the folks at SCR and CR to boost up the speed of these trains and bump up their capacity to handle the daily crowd. This move would come through with an extra 1280 berths in both directions, bringing in some serious cash flow - like around 100 Crores - just from these two trains alone. Mad potential, right?
