Ratlam is a larger junction on NDLS BCT route and a point for people from Bhilwara, Chittor, Banswara, Neemuch, Mandsaur, Pratapgarh etc to reach Mumbai. However, alloted quota to Ratlam in various trains in quite low and one donot find availblity in trains which are of suitable timings to reach Mumbai. For examples, three overnight trains, Golden Temple, Avanitka and Jaipur Bombay put together have about 217 seats in Sleeper, but all are in RLWL or PQWL and are shared with other larger boarding points like Kota, Nagda etc.
The effective availablity at Ratlam declines substantially.

suggest, a dedicated train for Ratlam Mumbai shall be initiated, which runs at about 9 in night and arrives Mumbai by 6/7 in morning to Mumbai. Similarly this train can start at 8/9 in night from Mumbai and reach Ratlam by 5/6 in morning. A Sleeper Duronto could be best solution.
Once this train is initiated, Ratlam's quota in three mentioned trains can be decreased and made available to destinations like Kota, Jaipur and Indore. A win-win situation for all.

I would say attach a Slip to Ratlam Ajmer Exps. A train from Indore can start at 19:00 odd hours for Mumbai, once gauge conversion of Indore-Fatehabad-Ratlam Section. This Slip can be attached to Indore train at Ratlam.

yea, thats a superb thought.. but already 12962 - avantika express is running more or less same time from indore.. i would rather suggest a dedicated ajmer-bandra superfast on same time slot of ajmer-ratlam, with general quota for ratlam-bandra passengers! :)

Avantika runs at 16:25 from Indore. I am proposing a train at 19:30. You will appreciate that Fateabad, Badnagar, badnawar people will also have certain expectations post gauge conversion. A single train can fulfill expectations of all...

Railway can easily use Ajmer Delhi duranto express rake as Ajmer ratlam janshatbdi express , Duranto run by weekly and five day this train rake is useless so railway can easily use this train rake as Janshatbdi express between Ajmer to Ratlam , time should be early morning from Ajmer like 6 AM and return time from Ratlam should be 1 pm.
