The dealio is that the second main line loops and connects at Mao's end with the current down line which is being used as an up line by both KR and SWR. Whenever a bunch of trains are heading to RN, they jam up the down main line. So, picture this - a train rolls in from VSG at MJO Outers and has to chill there for a bit, waiting for the all-clear coz the RN-Mao line is taken up by KR and SWR. How do you reckon KR and SWR are gonna fix this mess?

ek aur cheez hai ki pf no 2 loop line mao end par khatam hoti hai jo mao se existing down line tak jati hai jo kr aur swr dono dino ko up line ke roop mein istemal ki jaati hai uss samay kai train rn ki taraf ja rahi hoti hai block hone existing down main line ko to maano agar vsg se train aati hai mjo outers par aur woh train mjo outers par rukti hai clearence ke liye kyuki rn mao line ko kr swr down main line ke roop mein upyog karte hain toh kr swr yeh samasya kaise nikaalenge

People are super stressed about the General Coach situation. Let me break it down - a General Coach can hold around 100 people (by lower seat numbers). If you cram in upper berths as well, you can squeeze in 80 more people, but with some adjustments, you can fit in 40 more. And if folks sit at the gate, stand around, use a handkerchief, blanket, or makeshift arrangements, you can squeeze in 400-500 peeps with the same capacity. But, the capacity of reserved classes (64-83) is fixed. I've traveled in the General Class on long-distance trains. People in the General section spend more than those in the reserved section; the pantry guys really rip them off. It's not like they don't want reservations, but who will guarantee them a confirmed ticket? If the railway increases General Coaches and introduces new ordinary trains, it will be a huge relief for those with reserved seats. Otherwise, the day isn't far when the concept of reservations in the railway will be meaningless. Because giving reserved tickets to every Tom, Dick, and Harry in the General section is not the railway's cup of tea.
