Exclusive air-conditioned trains are no longer a fresh idea by any standard. Even if you stay clear of the statistics, (an approach I conveniently yet subtly prefer all the time) it’d be safe to state that it has been decades ever since this particular concept was tried and implemented in various colours and, as I can add as of today, in various shapes. However, planning it perfect enough for them to run into waitlist, the prevalent yardstick to denote a train successful, continues to be...

This TPTY-JAT humsuffer is altogether a different ball game and got killed by the inter divisional clashes which didn't allowed it run on the proposed TT....
had it would have departed TPTY after 10 PM and reaching SC by 8:30 and use the 12649 slot from SC onwards and reaching NDLS by 9:15 , it would have got so much millage from the people in both TPTY-SC and SC-NZM sectors .....however SCR spoiled it big way by first slowing it down with early departure from TPTY which wont find many takers considering the FULL AC and dynamic pricing status of the train and as well as the very slow TT between even SC-NDLS (again the terminal got changed to safdargunj) ...

Great Insights. Timing has a massive role to play. A similar eg. When 12260 Sdah Duronto in its glorious days when both fare and punctuality was not an issue it had massive demand due to its convenient 8pm timings. What's more a good margin deboarded it at DHN a tech halt then just because ppl could board it conveniently post office and catching Rajdhani on Friday meant only 1 option Sdah Raj and taking half day leave.
Nice Insights.
Many of the points you mentioned in your blog just hint towards the direction that the only thing taken care to serve passengers is introduction of trains and that IR usually gives priority to operational convenience over passenger's convenience.
Let's discuss the point where you mentioned about arrival at office timings during working days. It is known that all big stations like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Banglore are already clogged with a lot of trains plying to the city from various adjoining states and cities, during morning hours. In that case,...

Another point of Bangalore-Chennai trains. Railways is running 12692 SSPN-MAS exp and 12292 MAS-YPR exp on Saturday night, when the overwhelming passenger demand would have been sufficed if these trains had been run on a Sunday night. I am not aware of the reason behind the operations on Saturdays.
Reason very simple. Both are idle rakes of long distance trains. Hence, they are utilizing in the weekends.
