A large chunk of this information is incorrect. I was under the impression, 2 additional lines were laid at Karmali. How come 4?

Probably, TOI is known for reporting the wrong stuff at the wrong time. TOI is all about celebs oops moments, and all crap.

It will be premature to assume, Karmali is the permanent terminating station for the 12051/52. A tender is already out for laying 2 additional lines at Thivim. While, I always favored a halt for the Jan Shatabdi at Karmali, this halt should never have come at the cost of Madgaon. I feel the train should run up to Madgaon and both halts Karmali and Thivim should be retained.
Imagine, when the JS terminated at Madgaon, the no of seats available were just not enough. Now, by terminating the train at Karmali, the KR has actually created a big hole for the travellers of South Goa.

Here the topic is whether Karmali is the permanent termination for the Jan Shatabdi. Your views are nothing but out of context.

Agree, Margao was the best. I would like to welcome the halt at Karmali though.

Even I am not in favour of such a thing. I would like the train terminating at Madgaon, with Karmali as a scheduled halt.

The Harbour line commuters, who are already cursing railways for the want of fast trains and better facilities, will have one more reason to do so....

Agree, most commuters align at Kurla for the BKC. Post Kurla, trains are empty. However, diverting trains to another route, will only invite protests. Diverting trains from Dockyard road is fine. However, I feel there should be a good no of services that continue to run up to CST.

WHile it has been agreed that LHB coaches are safer and superior and it would be highly appreciated if the entire IR network runs with LHB coaches, I fail to under why the production of unsafe ICF coaches has continued. It would be prudent to stop the production of ICF coaches as after every mishap, the authorities only rue what could have been had the mishap occured with LHB coaches.

If you put this question before the Konkan Railway, I know what the answer will be "The responsibility of maintainence lies with Central Railway"

This very same rake, on its maiden run was stuck at Roha for around 2 hours because the loco pilot refused to carry on. If CR and KR cannot take care of who is going to pilot the rake up to where, both zones will put their hands up with regards to the leaking roof. I wonder what explanation they will provide for wasting the money of people. This again proves, the KR is a white elephant and they are only working towards cementing that tag. If you check the KR website, they are promoting this double decker and the 00111/00112. In other words, they are asking people to travel in the fully AC double decker and the passengers will have to bear stinking toilets and a leaking roof. On the other hand, the 00112/11 is still worse as I realised when I travelled in it last week (18/10/14). Imagine, the...
