RailFans - we wander, but never get lost - Shaurya Kumar

Yo, here's my suggestion. I think the Railways should switch up their standardization formula for the Rakes. For those long-haul superfast trains clocking more than 18 hours, we're talking one coach of AC First class, a minimum of 2 and a max of 3 coaches for AC Second class, 5 coaches for AC Three Tier, 2 coaches for AC Three Tier Economy, anywhere between 6 to 8 coaches for Sleeper class, and at least 1 SLRD plus 4 coaches for General class. Now, for those shorter trips under 18 hours, we're looking at 1 coach of HA1, 1 coach of AC Second class, 6 coaches for AC Three Tier, 3 coaches for AC Three Tier Economy, 5 coaches for Sleeper class, and 1 SLRD plus 5 coaches for General class. And let's not forget the intercity trains where we need 1 coach of AC Three Tier Economy, 3 coaches of AC Chair Car, 6 coaches of Non-AC AC Chair Car, 8 coaches of General Sitting, 1 SLRD, and 1 EOG. When it comes to ICF rakes for intercity travel, swap out an Economy coach for a 3A coach and keep the rest the same as mentioned earlier. Lastly, for Janshatabdi trains, we're talking 5 coaches of AC Chair Car, 12 coaches of Non-AC Chair Car, 1 SLRD, and 1 EOG. Peace out!
