Has this Rats issue been there even during Falaknuma RSA? KCG maintenance is not up to mark these days. I wonder how the other trains are being maintained. KCG MYS SF has good maintenance but I've travelled in it long ago.

The South Central Railway (SCR) has temporarily shortened the route of the Dharmabad-Manmad Marathwada Express, running it only up to Jalna from June 8th to 11th due to essential infrastructure work. This decision has caused inconvenience to passengers, particularly those returning after summer vacation. The train will only operate between Aurangabad...

and Dharmabad for the return journey. Railway activists have criticized the timing of the line block, arguing that it could have been scheduled during a less busy period. SCR officials, while acknowledging the inconvenience, emphasized the necessity of the work and offered refunds to affected passengers. The disruption adds to the existing overcrowding issues on trains along the Nanded-Jalna-Aurangabad-Manmad route, making travel challenging for many.

South Central Railway (SCR) ne Dharmabad-Manmad Marathwada Express ka route thoda kam kar diya hai, aur 8th June se 11th June tak yeh train sirf Jalna tak hi jaayegi. Iska reason hai infrastructure work ke liye line block. Isse passengers ko bahut pareshani ho rahi hai, khass karke un logon ko...

SCR officials ne inconvenience ke liye maafi maangi hai, aur kaha hai ki yeh kaam jaruri hai. Unhone affected passengers ko ticket refund bhi dene ka vaada kiya hai. Is disruption se Nanded-Jalna-Aurangabad-Manmad route par trains pe already existing overcrowding ki problem aur bhi badh gayi hai, jisse passengers ko bahut mushkil ho rahi hai.

saw 17,446 outward and 9,921 inward passengers, generating ₹3,51,025 in revenue. Despite the potential for growth, Marathwada faces neglect in terms of railway infrastructure. The region has long demanded better connectivity to major industrial and tourist cities, but has only received assurances and route surveys. Citizens demand the connection of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to cities like Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, Nagpur, and others through improved railway connectivity and additional trains. Daulatabad Railway Station, with its existing goods yard and facilities, has the potential to generate more revenue with increased train stoppages. Mukundwadi station also holds significant revenue potential, requiring additional passenger amenities, an extra loop line, and more express train stoppages. Railway activist Swanand Solanke highlighted the potential for revenue growth at Aurangabad station despite limited train services, emphasizing the need for expedited work on the pit line and the introduction of long-distance trains.
