This is with regard to removal of AC Chair Car from 12639/40 Brindavan Express, and making it a 24 coaches train with 6 reserved coaches.
It is unfortunate that such a prestigious train once, is reduced to a Janatha Express!!
I would blame SR for Brindavan Express's humiliation - first they introduced too many stops, slowed down to 58 Kmph, then introduced DD just around the same time and forcing Brindavan loyal passengers to go by DD, delaying the departure to 07.50, removing CC and now, making it almost a unreserved train!!!

bet, coaches of SWR & SCR are better maintained than stinking, dirty coaches of SR. Off late, even Brindavan rake was probably running at night as Deepawali Special!! turning around - just as it arrived at SBC and MAS
We will never be able to push the bureaucracy and bring back the sheen on Brindavan Express..SR officials will always justify their actions - as they continue to be...as you may find may of them supporting the move to remove CC.
It would be better, if the name " Brindavan Express" is removed from the T.No:12639 so that the lovely chugging Brindavan Express will continue in live in our memories to which once as I child, would walk down 2 Kms to Ambur Railway Station to see the train pass by on time, in 1970s!!!

Every coin has two side!!
The D Class & General Coach too get heavily packed as in demand & IR dont find any way earlier to negotiate these non-AC crowd, as deletion of CC gonna put pressure to cater AC Traveler & Non-AC demand upsurge limitless!!
With DD on the cards, IR got the chance to negotiate Non AC & AC Traveler, without compromising on AC/D/Gen Coaches reduction in any both trains!!

Perfectly agree with you. To make a look feel for the DD success, they have reduced the AC coaches of this wonderful piece.
How to make a line look shorter, draw another longer line or ERASE some part of the line.

I'm also a fan of Brindavan and we have to see the positives. Brindavan AC pax now have the option of arriving SBC or MAS earlier than the usual time as they'll prefer DD now(agreed DD will not give the same comfort level) and with the change in composition, we can expect much lesser unreserved crowd in 2S. Its a smart move by SR as far as revenue is concerned.

Re# 948104-5              
As per my previous blog posts, i suggest sr to intorduce a new intercity train between MAS-SBC, Starting by 7.05am from Mas and reach SBC by 12.45pm, with limited number of stops, in reverse let it start at 2.50pm and reach MAS by 8.30pm..................It should stop only at ajj-kpd-jtj-bwt-bnc-sbc...And brindavan non AC version should start at 11am from mas and reach sbc by 6pm, if ac coaches are removed, e1 the sf status should be removed and should be named as a brindavan fast passenger with 2s coaches.......Renumber it as 52639/52640.............

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
