Agree Agree
After this massive terrible train accident of Coromandel Express even with LHB coaches
I hope SCR even now wake up and make Falaknuma LHB ASAP
I didn't understand the fact that it was the first train from SCR proposed to get LHB conversion ; but even Visakha which proposed after Falaknuma got lhbfied

It's
...
more...
even better if Falaknuma got LHBfied with no RSA

Certainly if it was ICF casualties would have been much higher as all the coaches would have climbed on top of one another instead of the initial few ones as in this case. Also in the past we have definitely seen accidents of LHB coaches derailment where they saved lives like the Poorva express one.

Main villain of this train is 12703 TT arrival at 10:10 and 12704 dep is at 15:55. This is not enough time for maintenance so RSA with a train with late departure from SC is must. RSA with Narayanadri used to work to a little bit but we all know great secondary maintenance of SRC. Back then and even now, this train is known for its worst maintenance. Even when PM was at TPTY it was bad. They somehow convinced SCR to get rid of the RSA and change PM to SC. And now poor Ajanta got entangled with this train. They should be swapping TT of Visakha with Falaknuma i.e around 15:00 departure and Visakha can have RSA with Ajanta. Falaknuma should depart around 08:00 in the night from Secunderabad and arrive at 21:15 - 21:45 at Howrah. Return it can start from 07:25 like before and reach at 09:05....

This will even encourage SCR to give it LHB as soon as possible. Visakha got LHB sooner because it was standalone.

SCR must ensure RSA of Falaknuma & East Coast Express. SCR must take East Coast Express Rake from SER. East Coast Express must be converted to SF after SCR gets hold of the train, renumber the train from 18645/18646 to 22703/22704. This will help & improve Kolkata-Hyderabad Train travel very much. Currently 12703/04 Falaknuma Express & 12709/10 Simhapuri Express are having RSA. SCR must delink RSA of 12703/04 & 12709/10, extend 12797/98 Venkatadri Express to SC from KCG. Then 12709/10 & 12797/98 can have RSA, making rakes of Venkatadri Express LHB from current ICF.

Even if 12703 goes to SER it can be possible to extend this train till nampally station. And no rsa will be needed. But 18046 can have rsa with 18409 or 12837 or with 12863 easily having a good amount of PM time

Check this out, improved version of 18045 and 46 as well. CDO-HYB. Just to give more lay over time SRC is terminating station instead of SHM

M7 & M8 must be replaced with S7 & S8. Overcrowding in AC coaches is a serious concern now. People are ready to overcrowd AC coaches by giving bribes & existing fines to TTE.

Harsh reality. Before lockdown this train was a good example of quality train. But now its not. Only factor is punctuality and that too for 12703 DN only. UP train delay history is common now.
