Grievance Description: This grievance is regarding increase in the frequency of 59025/26 Surat-Amravati-Surat Fast Passenger from triweekly to daily. This is a very popular train among daily passengers attending offices and schools on this route due to its convinient timings. Also, there are many end-to-end travelling passengers. This train runs over-packed in holiday seasons and WR runs a Udhna-Amravati special every season to meet the passenger demands. Request is to increase the frequency of this train from tri-weekly to daily to facilitate passengers. This train is also a revenue earner and will surely add to railway profits.
Email reply details: Suggestions made in your above letter have been examined and position is as under:
To run 59025/59026 Surat – Amravati Passenger daily.
At present 59025/59026 Surat – Amravati fast Passenger runs as a Tri-weekly service with 2 rakes and during lie-over period the rake is under Primary maintenance which is obligatory from safety point of view.
Increase in frequency of train from tri-weekly to daily is operationally not feasible due to track capacity constraints on Surat – Jalgaon single line section compounded with inadequate terminal / maintenance facilities at Surat.
Moreover doubling work of Surat – Jalgaon section is under progress.
Hope you will appreciate the position.
