Look at the FARE for FC for this train on IRCTC - Rs.1285/- for FC one way for a distance of 88 kms. This is unbelievable!! When the MTP-UAM train's fare for FC is just Rs.205/- for a distance of 46 kms and just Rs.30/- for 2S class. On what basis is the fare decided for Tr. No. 52541? This is beyond a common man's reach. Is or was there any official notification regarding the same earlier?

Common men don't take this train. Common men take buses and shared cabs. This is for tourists and just the right way to generate revenue. If we sum the resources spent in maintaining that toy train up, we'd realize that even 1200 per ticket isn't a profitable deal for them.
Also given that it's waitlisted throughout, people are actually ready to pay. There must've been something special about it.
