Re# 6074205-2              
For dadar central IR should shift all vande bharat from CST to dadar so that these small lenght platform and pitlines can be used otherwise there is no use of running small length LHB or ICF rakes from here.

Stations like dadar central, dehradun and kalka have less platform length and pitline length which has led to reduction in no. of trains due to increase in no. of coaches.
...

The worst hit stations in this case are kalka and dehradun and I guarantee that Howrah Kalka mail will be terminated at chandigarh only once its gets LHB.

If 12860 gets rsa with 18615 (kriya yoga exp) it can save 1 extra rake and PM will be at RNC. Is it feasible? Is it a good plan?

Re# 6064010-1              
Gitanjali has a roundtrip of 3950km which requires PM at HWH. The line from Tatanagar to Raipur is best known for its punctuality due to freight movement in SECR and this gets late and the situation will not improve in next 3 years. So it's nots recommended.

When Hatia HWH had RSA with East coast express they used to be SM at Hyd during ICF Era. Now with LHB coaches they have eliminated SM at Hyd. If jaganath or Puri express has RSA again they need to do SM at Hyderabad as chain distance exceeds 2000km.

18047 doesn't require any rsa, but it can be a good option for 18045.
