koolwadi 165 blog postsOnce again, SCR proves they are not giving justice to Nanded Division by releasing two back to back press release. Today, around 12:30 pm, on SCR website, an notification came to run weekly 2 specials to Pune. One via Latur (07621/07622) and One via Manmad (02729/02730) till Dec. 2015. Immediately, after two hours they announced that they are cancelling those specials. The reason due to which I hurt was they told due to poor pantorage they are going to cancel those specials. I wonder how can they expect good pantorage after 2 hours of press-release. Most of the people don't know that SCR is running special any. It's purely injustice with Nanded people. If SCR has taken decision to cancel specials on the basis of past data, then why did they announce specials in the morning?

Sir,
I won't say, SCR is not at all doing any job over here. My point is SCR is not giving justice to demands of people. For few points, I'm not agree with you:-
1. Track Strengthening:- I'll tell you one simple example, if you leave Nanded & proceeds towards Parbhani, speed of train automatically reduces to 20 km/hr, why? because there is one speed restriction board kept due to track issues, now, this board is there from last 6 years, still they did not get time to rework on this...

maturity i meant for infrastructure which AWB certainly dont have. Look at BSL and NGP they have very good infrastructure (big railway station, Loco shed/ diesel shed, Mechanical workshops, track/ coach maintenance station, pit line, coach washing facility, important railway route, electrification, doubling, good utilisation of routes,DRM office and so many originating trains and tons of changing passengers, think that way. Its difficult for AWB to qualify for Division. CR HQ at AWB is impossible. If in future CR HQ is to be shifted out of Mumbai, It would be definitely NGP. I am of the view that whole NED division can join CR with its existing jurisdiction, that's the demand people made decades ago.
Infrastructure- Development are interdependent...like 1st egg or 1st hen...
as far as infrastructure is concerned...let me give u some facts..
1. AWB exports approximately 3000 containers per yr from its container depot...next 3-4 yrs prediction is that it will increase to approximately 5000 containers per years which accounts to approximately 1000 Corers rupees worth of industrial products. AWB goods shed handles 5 Corers rupees of goods per yr (Sorted info in RTI, SCR did not provide income from container depot)

Bro, I understand AWB can further be developed but everything regarding AWB RIGHT NOW is "will be", "can be". even If we ignore infrastructure, AWB lies on MMR-SC route which according to IR is not important route and most North bound trains from NED started via Akola ignoring AWB (i wonder PAU-AK route is now imp railway route though it was converted to BG after SC-MMR ). By income its behind other A grade stations (MMR, NED, BSL) though being a big city. There is not even proposal for doubling track at AWB (proposal is Parbhani-Mudkhed) I can say there is no need to split NED division to create another AWB Div. It would be good if utilization is increased on this route.
Thanks for sharing few points which I am unaware of, but only one thing which I have observed is - speed is certainly increased by attaching dual engines because, inspite of so many crossings, trains with dual engines manage to cover the travel time between parbhani to aurangabad in 2 hrs 50 min. Quoting this from my personal experience past few trips. If you see the same MLY loco go with Karnataka SF exp as there is LSA between Devagiri and Karnataka loco. There are few incidences of loco failure, but that is comparatively less and is common as it is observed in many other parts of India as well even in CR we observe loco failures may be diesel or electric. At the end its a machine and can develop fault sometime.
