DanielSebastian~ 4399 blog postsI feel like the standardization of Rakes and decrease of Sleeper coaches has caused a lot of confusion and issues. Not to mention the cramped up coaches with Unreserved passengers, causing an inconvenience to reserved passengers. As a result, I have a solution up my sleeve that might work, please provide any suggestions as follows.
1) We know that there are two dedicated trains running between MAS and HWH with huge crowds, each 22 coaches.
2) These trains can be split into 3 trains, 2 16 Coaches with all AC coaches with SF...

I feel like this is the only solution to checking this stuff. If they see that the train is completely AC, unreserved passengers won't board the train. You don't see unreserved people boarding in fully AC trains or Rajdhanis. Also, what about phasing out all General coaches and having only reserved coaches for Express trains. Passenger train can have some coaches but they as well should have reserved seating. The shorter rakes was keeping in mind that eventually semi high speed infrastructure will make its way in this section. I'm expecting atleast 160 KMPH which calls for shorter rakes and fully AC trains.
I was thinking about keeping 2 SL and 3 GS but converted to 2S ie. second class reserved for these trains coz atleast by paying a slightly higher premium fare in the form of SF surcharge even those who can't afford an AC fare can enjoy some higher speed and priority but SF surcharge should be higher than present as a percentage and not fixed amount.
But if your idea is to upgrade trains to 160kph then definitely you will have to keep the rakes shorter so non AC coaches are out of the equation.

Yes, according to what I suggested, they should be separated into a normal Mail service with Gen and SL coaches and another full fledged AC SF Express. Both can be 16 Coachers. This will also help in clearing huge wait lists as there are additional coaches.
Also some M/E are on the borderline of being a SF with some speed up they can be converted to SF.
But for additional trains to be run we will require much more railway lines then present. That issue need to be tackled too.
Need more DFCs to decongest tracks, then doubling, tripling, quadrapling should be undertaken on more routes. White elephants be it premium or non premium should be discontinued. Instead of adding VBs on every route they should try to replace Shatabdis with VB rakes. In routes like Mumbai...

I think a new category should be created like premium sf express in which avg speed should be around at least 60kmph with fully reserved coaches and sf surcharge flat 200 rupees till 1000 km and after that 400 rupees this way those who want premium and faster service can go with it and i also think all mail express should be converted to sf especially those who have avg of 52kmph and also with these ir should run non ac specials on demanding routes with cc some what like 12 sl 8gs and 2 slr in icf and in. Lhb around 11 sl and 8 gs 1 slr 1 eog ir should charge special fare for these trains and only allow arp of 1 month this way they will remain occupied also arp for all trains should get cut down to 2 month
