There are many SFs trains, which are having more stops. How many of you feel that, just as avg speed of 55KMPH for train to be categorized as SF, there should be avg station distance(xxKM/station) for SF trains

Seems small misunderstanding. What i meant is avg distance between stops.. Say if a to b is 10km and b to c is 40km, then avg distance between stop is 25km. I meant like that.
Avg Distance=Total Distance/(No of stops-1)
Eg:

Need not be, the train will loose SF category ;)
Atleast then railway will say no to polticians demand for new stop, since train will loose SF category and hence revenue :P

distribution of cities are uneven so v cant expect distance as criteria for example. in tamil nadu. VM TPJ stretch via MV have more populated and revenue generating stations than via VRI so as per ur criteria via CL all SF via ML all express. this seams illogical and invalid. so distance cant be a criteria. so, based on type of stations stoppages can be considered.

Thanks for your opinion.
Yes, railway might loose revenue. But SF getting too much of halt is not that good. Hence i came with poll to c, how many feels the same. :)
