Agree Agree
In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced wnd cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that my post don't get archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become a flop idea.

Railways should make rsa or rake sharing arrangements between 14707/08 Lalgarh (Bikaner) Dadar Western Ranakpur express and 14717/18 Bikaner Haridwar gita ganga express and should also give 2 lhb rakes to 14717/18 to make it daily between Bikaner and Haridwar and after doing rake sharing arrangements or rsa of both trains railways should do primary maintenance of 5 lhb rakes (3 lhb rakes of 14707/08 and 2 lhb rakes of 14717/18) at Lalgarh jn and rsa pattern of both trains should be like this 14717-14718-14708-14707 then primary maintenance at Lalgarh jn. And for speeded up time table of both trains please refer to these blogs -

Pictures from my trip to Mumbai onboard Haridwar BDTS weekly express from Ghaziabad. This trip was scheduled on 11th July. This was my second experience with Ghaziabad with utter disappointment. I am not sure whether it is due to construction activity or what but there is no train information available outside platform premises I got to know about my trains platform only 5 mins before train arrival
