how do you define lean period? so many specials and premium specials running for lean period? a simple search between bangalore and howrah brought up three specials apart from two regulars and few weeklies...

many trains are run because once the zones aquire a few rakes they dont have enough yard to keep it idle...for eg,HWH NJP Yuva Exp with cramped CC never got any demand,still ER keeps on running so that for atleast 24 hrs the rake can be roaming somewhere around.if the same slot is replaced with sleeping accomodation,it could perform way better
that is the beauty of IR ...ek baar decision le liya to voh khud ki bhi nahi sunte ..no matter premiums are running vacant , since they have committed they wont backoff !!!...wasting money to the helm...
it can be kept at suburban station loop lines na? I hv seen rakes of hwh duronto being kept at bauria...some 50km away...it still saves fuel and over crowding of tracks...even tracks have a life span...they shd b far sighted...
hwh njp premium ko bandhh karwa diya now running the rake as hwh ghy sdah ring rail as a normal special train
aaj ke din me sab premiums ko band kardo , still there wont be big hue and cry , its just that IR is making up deficit by running these and churning out huge money from the people ..
