I have a doubt...In IR the maximum number of coaches in a train is 24 only. Then what is the use of constructing 26 coach length pitline in some of the terminals????!!!!

Selva thats just for flexibility to be had at workplace.Say for example if in case they need to delink a coach in between rake to do some maintenance the two sets of the entire rake shall be moved bit away from one another for sufficient gap to work comfortably.This buffer of additional 2 coach length space can be useful for the crew who do exterior cleaning/maintenance in parallel to other works standing on the PF..If that buffer space isn't there few works could be stopped.For Full Maintenance they usually take around 6 Hrs so they cannot afford time wastage.This is my perception.
