Re# 1189686-1              
Firstly i dont think it was wise to operate DD as a Premium if IR wanted to operate DD as a Premium then the number of specials announced earlier should have been less (Already 90 reserved & unreserved specials were announced long back) in this supply vs demand thing supply seems to have been exceeded a bit to make DD Full, AC Premium could anyways be operated with Shatabdi Rake
But still 22 n 24 are not exactly the very heavy rush days and both DD/Shatabdi hopefully will pick up from 26/27th onwards...

The supply hasnt exceeded , you see the waiting lists on other trains hasnt gone down
The decision of running those 3 trains as normal special would have definitely reduced the rates
for the Premium shatabdi , where people play like 600 for a ticket in a normal shatabdi , have to pay now 2500ish
Thats pure crap acc to me .

The double decker fare was 1200
EVen that is imaginable
Shatabdi has 2500,That acc to me is not acceptable
People with waiting list tickets will still trouble the Sleeper class passengers for sure .
Plus i wont be surprised if the premium specials are subjected to stone pelting by the angry people

What i said was number of specials announced earlier should have been less by a bit in order to make the DD Premium work, Without the Premium tag DD would definitely have got full...
