जिंदगी में शादी के अलावा ट्रेन में RAC ही एक ऐसी स्थिति है,जिसमें दो अजनबी साथ निभाने को मजबूर होते है। - Junaid

The first mistake was extending it to Kadapa; this is another big mistake now.

All the things mentioned are not possible in 1 day. Any person needs a minimum of 5-7 years. So, if I become Railway Minister, I will do this in my tenure.

1. Whenever a new line is established, make sure it is a double line so the cost of the second line can be reduced after some years.

2. New pit lines with a minimum of 5 PM and 7-8 SM facilities in the following areas, as I feel the necessity is there:

1. CR- Jalna-Bhusaval-Daund-Manmad-Parli Vaijnath-Aurangabad-Nagarsol-Latur Road-Miraj-Satara (Please add if I missed some)
2. ER- Nsmkhana-Haldia-Rampurhat-New Farakka-Ballygaunge-Panskura (Add from your side if I missed something)
ECR: Rajgir-Ara-Sasaram-Garhwa Road-Shaktiinagar-Barkakana-Chopan (Please add if I missed some)
ECoR:- Kirandul-Jagdalpur-Bangriposi-Balasore-Paradeep-Titlagarh-Sambalpur Extra lines (Please add if I missed some)

3. Increase in GS coaches to 6 (all before AC coaches) in all trains except AC trains.

4. Jan Aahar compulsory in all trains. Pantry card for GS passengers @ ₹25.

5. All lower berths for old age/handicapped/pregnant women only.

6. Introduction of my IMG version of Jana Rajadhani and Praja Rath Trains.

7. Minimum 50 km distance for Express and 100 km for SF trains for halting. Which city has more population, only there these trains can halt to reduce over-stopping.

8. Increase of coaches in all dailies to 26 and weeklies to 28 with PF extension.

9. Allotment of LHBs for current running SF trains first and expresses next and not for new trains except more than 1509 km running weeklies.

10. Starting 5 more coach factories, 2 more electric engine factories, 4 more DEMU & MEMU factories, with priority to those states where railway factories not started till now.

11. New passenger trains will be introduced as per zone earnings in passenger train earnings only by ranking them to avoid ticketless travellers.

12. Starting more Amrit Bharat Trains with VB style engines.

13. Recruitment of all empty posts within 1 year.

14. Yearly 3000 km of tracks installation as a target per year.

15. Priority for small route new tracks or gauge conversions with one-time allotment of funds to finish them within 1 year.

16. For short distances installing new meter gauge high-speed trains to run as passenger.

17. Separate livery for all types of trains. Maroon colour for Super Fast/Blue colour for express etc. VB will be with the tri-colour of the national flag.

18. 4 new rail steel factories under Railway control for 4 sides of India for developing own train tracks.

19. All tracks upgradation to 160 kmph for Express and 130 kmph for goods & 200 kmph for SF and AC trains.

More in the next post.
Thanks

First, I will solve the problems that railways have created for all categories, using different liveries for each category....I will try to improve interstate train connections, increase general sleeper coaches, and improve basic amenities like water, washrooms, and waiting areas at even the smallest stations, etc. There's much more besides.

Smooth Tatkal booking

For example:
Fill the Tatkal booking form and take payment at 9 AM.
Allocate seats at 11 AM on a first-come, first-served basis.

Give a full refund to those who don't get a seat.

At the national level, I would like to implement the following:

• Restoring IRMS vacancies in the UPSC ESE, which the government shifted to the CSE.

• Introducing one non-AC first-class coach, with significant modifications, in Amrit Bharat and Humsafar trains.

• Renaming the Namo Bharat Rapid Rail to 'Vande Metro' (as Namo Bharat is an existing service and the name is lengthy).

• Increasing the speed to 180 km/h on the Golden Quadrilateral route (with an extension to Guwahati towards the Northeast).

• Implementing a link and slip concept in Vande Bharat trains (splitting a 16-coach rake into 8 8, 12 4, etc. For example, if a Howrah-Varanasi Vande Bharat is introduced, a 12-coach set can be used for the Howrah-Varanasi service and 4 coaches for a Tata-Varanasi service, merging at Dhanbad).

At my home state, I would like to implement the following:

1. A dedicated superfast train to Howrah in the morning (like the Coalfield Express from Dhanbad and the Steel Express from Tata).
2. Sanctioning a third track line as an alternative to the double track line by connecting TLE and DHN stations.
3. Restoring the damaged pit lines at BKSC.
4. A dedicated Vande Metro service connecting the Palamu region with Bokaro Steel City/Dhanbad/Tata.
