I 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

priority and 1 Coach train with all Non AC and Sleeper Coaches with lower priority
First train - Coromandel AC SF Express
CC - EOG 1 HCPV 1 B 12 A 3 H1
Second Train - Chennai Howrah AC SF Mail
CC - EOG 1 HCPV 1 M 7 B 3 A 2 HA1 PC 1
Third Train - Chennai Howrah Express
CC - EOG 1 SLR 1 GEN 4 S 10
3) If this is done on a larger level all over railways, This will require IR to do a huge makeover and follow the foot steps of other countries where lengths of Trains do not exceed 16 Coaches. Everyone here knows that shorter rakes will result in Faster schedules, faster acceleration and less time of travel.

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.
Absolutely

agree with your idea of keeping out reserving the GS class in all express trains will automatically keep our the unreserved crowd away from express trains and then RPF will only have to deal with WL pax then and IRCTC should further reduce the WL they allow this will even further ease out the job of RPF.
Also i would like your opinions on SF trains still running with 8 or more SL coaches should they be too converted to AC SF and additional M/E with only SL and GS be added or already rake standardized trains be converted to full AC ones ??
