Less than 6 months old 16368 Banaras (Varanasi) Kanniyakumari, Kashi Tamil Sangamam Weekly Express with WAP7 locomotive entering Warangal railway station captured from the terrace of my uncle's home which is only a few meters away from the station. My summer evenings are spent here spotting all the trains passing through this station. I can even hear the train announcements during night time sitting on my bed when the fans are off 😊

Agree Great
Hello rail enthusiasts, here are the few steps and decisions taken by our railways which are not so great as far as i believe. Have a look and share your thoughts.

1)" 3AC Economy coach "
Though the coaches were modern and trendy, nothing better was done by introducing them. Fare was almost equal to 3 AC with congested leg space and walking...

path. Now the concept itself is scrapped, and 3E coaches are merged with 3A where people pay the same price.

2)" Rake Standardization "
Drastically reducing number of sleeper coaches in the trains. This has made SL class almost impossible to travel in many trains, and even AC coaches are crowded with non ac ticket holders, especially near the coach entrance.

3)" Pathetic ticket booking mobile application and Web interface "
Mobile app and website interface was excellent back in 2017-18. Especially web version was too good and userfriendly. Now they are full of ads and useless captchas. Seems like railways is trying to make up the losses incurred by displaying ads on their app.

4)" Limited Ticket Booking per Month "
Initially there was no limit on the number of tickets one can book from their user Id, but now only 6 are allowed if Aadhar is not linked and 12 if linked. This will have impact on hardcore travellers, who travel frequently.

5)" Naming passengers as express with hiked ticket price but same no.of stops and same travel time "
Passenger trains serve people of small villages, so halts should not be removed, but i oppose the decision of naming them as express and charging more, with no change in the travel time.

Commemt your thoughts on these and if there are any other decisions which you think are not okay please list out.

Good Bye Farakka Express. New train number announced . It will be of NFR Katihar Divison

Thank you for 33 years of Glorious service to Malda Division, Eastern Railway. The first train to undergo PM at MLDT CDO. Without you Malda Division couldn't have achieved the position as of today. Since 1991 we Malda , Farakka , Sahibganj Public never felt this is a worst train but Old train no will still be remebered among people here.Without this train no one could have ever heard the name of Malda District, Farakka Barrage,...
