Deccan Queen - मेरे सपनों की रानी

Sir, with all due respects, I disagree with your thought that the halt at Jalgaon is politically motivated. The people of Jalgaon on any given day can provide more patronage than that of Bhusawal, which is why the station has got its own separate RL quota in the DN direction. Please keep checking the seat availability of this quota and you will find the answer yourself as to why the halt is justified.

Also, regarding the crew change at Jalgaon, I don’t think it is correct to advocate here on...

behalf of LPs, as who actually knows whether they are sad or happy, unless that actually comes out in open. I think it is a commendable decision by CR authorities to eliminate the BSL halt. The transportation of crew is also an administrative issue, which I feel will get sorted eventually based on the feedback of the LPs. I’m sure nobody will make the LPs work on this pattern by pointing a gun at them.

People who board the trains from Bhusawal are not necessarily from the same city, but are from Jalgaon and nearby places. In the recent past as well, the CR authorities have given halt to Jalgaon of full AC trains like LTT-LKO/KYQ AC, based on which the officials might have realized the potential of giving the Rajdhani a halt here.

I also understand your fear that people from other cities like Thane, Manmad, Khandwa will start demanding halts at those station. However, I haven’t come across any such instance in the past many years when anybody has stood up to demand a halt for 22109/22110 or any other train for that matter at any of these stations. There sure exists many other examples from other states and other trains, but using that to downgrade the importance of Jalgaon here I feel is not justified. To conclude, I would just say that the availability figures of the Jalgaon quota in coming runs will prove if the halt is justified or not. :-)
