How many of those trains that crashed were running at 160
or even at 130
if slowing down is the answer then dude, it's crazy

kitni woh trains jo hadsa hua unki speed 160 pe thi?
ya phir 130 pe?
agar speed kam karna solution hai toh bhai, wah kya baat hai

I agree. Recently on the forum they were talking about some temporary fix until the "kavach installation" on 160 kmph routes happens. They are planning to use track-fitted RFID tags to alert the drivers in their cabins about upcoming signals and level crossings. Gatimaan has been breaking speed limits too. Despite trials from 2015-2017 and a live demo in 2022, it seems like the kavach installation hasn't been done on 160 kmph routes yet. Most recent accidents didn't involve trains going above 130 kmph, let alone 160. Indian Railways has been struggling with issues like lack of fencing, security systems, R&D for rail safety, and many vacancies. They are just trying to cover these up by reducing speed in the name of safety. As the article says, "unless we upgrade our tracks and equipment, we can't run trains at high speeds no matter what."

Main sehmat hoon.

Kuch haal hi mein charcha mein aaya tha ki yeh temporary step hai, jab tak lamba intezaar ka "kavach installation" 160 kmph ki routes par na ho. Track-fitted RFID tags ka istemal kiya jayega signal aur level crossing ke upcoming indications driver cabin mein communicate karne ke liye. Haal hi mein Gatimaan ke kuch instances aye hain jaha par PSR se zyada speed mein chal rahi thi.

Par main ab bhi ise ek palatoo kadam manta hoon. 2015-2017 ke beech field trials aur 2022 mein live demonstration ke bawajood, lagta hai kavach installation ab tak trains jo 160kmph ki speed pe chal rahi hain un routes par nahi hui hai. Haal hi ke rail hadse mein (Balasore ke ek ke ilava) koi bhi train 110 ya 130 kmph pe nahi thi, chhod ke jo 160 kmph speed pe thi.

Kuch samasyayen samay se IR ko pareshan kar rahi hain - sahi fencing ki kami, prapt suraksha system ki kami, Rail suraksha mein R&D mein kami, bade number mein khali pad - In sab koshish kar rahe hain in baaton ko chhupa kar risk mitigation ke naam pe speed kam karne ki.

Upar wale article se - "Hum trains ko 160 kmph pe nahi chala sakte kyunki rasta us speed par safe nahi tha. Jab tak sangathan high-tech signaling equipment, high-speed tracks aur rolling stock ko maintain karne ke liye tayar nahi hota, chahe kitni bhi trains kharid lein ya banayein, hume neeche ki speed pe hi chalna padega."

Kya yaar, malgodown trains khade passenger trains mein takra rahe hain aur last teen coaches mein hungama macha rahe hain. Passenger trains ki speed kam karne se aise haadsaon mein kaise madad hogi?

Mission Raftaar is going down the toilet, man! They're just trying to cover up real problems by slowing down and talking about "safety measures." But accidents can still happen, at any speed. It feels like they totally forgot about passenger safety, dude!

Yeh toh bas ek coverup exercise hain - high-tech signalling equipment ki kami, high-speed tracks ki samasya, maintenance issues, LPs aur ALPs ke lambi working hours, anti collision systems ke installation par dhime progress se - in issues se dhyan hatane ki koshish kar rahe hain speed kam karke "risk mitigation aur security measures" ke naam pe. Bhagwan na kare, lekin haadse ho sakte hain, aur, pehle bhi huye hain itni kam speeds pe. Mission Raftaar toh gaya tel lene, lagta hai - shayad "yatri suraksha" ko ignore kiya gaya tha!
