No DD in India is runaway hit except for JP DD! ADI DD and MAS DD are satisfactory and rest all are flops. DD should be redesigned, making available non-AC coaches as well as sleeper coaches, if possible.

2) So that AC people can travel in DD & more people who couldn`t afford AC can travel in Brindavan. So

capacity increased for Brindavan.

One point should be noted here... From SBC end, there are two intercity trains one behind the other (IC and Lalbagh) with 2S reserved coaches. But from MAS end, there is only one train and that is Brindavan.
And my view here is not to let DD down, but tried to analyze how it was made to survive. And you should be
