If you are also going to board from Gwalior and your coach is C2 then it is better to not look at platform position indicators, instead you need to find any empty place on platform so you can board without any issue.

Please note that actual number can be increased because few seats will must be there from Jhansi to Gwalior and Gwalior to Agra so those will not be visible in chart.

My personal opinion is in case other railway stations also face the issue then they should also demand for 5 minutes stoppage time because safety and security is first priority in every transport option.

Yes you are absolutely right.
Reducing the Halt time from 5 minutes to 2 minutes at Gwalior is so foolish decision.

Recently only I heard that passengers got injured in Mangala Express at Gwalior as halt time was so less that they did not got sufficient time to board and deboard.

Agree
In my experience at Ghaziabad and Borivali all trains have stoppage of 2mins and more than half passengers board/deboard from these stations.
And everytime I travelled I’ve seen trains stopping for more than 2mins until platform is clear with rush and train manager signals green.
So on paper it’s 2mins ok very very less I agree.. but never experienced any issue when boarding from these two mentioned stations.

Yes. I agree. Situations become challenging at these stations as well but not this much worsen. around 30-40% of total passengers either board or deboard from here but here in Gatiman for Gwalior this is huge.

In C2 coach you can see that 66 seats out of 78 booked from Gwalior only.

personally feel that no matter which station it is, trains should not allowed to move if passengers has not been inside train. This needs to be strictly followed in premium trains because passengers pay high fare for this only.
