Taken at MMCT before rake was shunted off. Maybe IR can consider rake sharing between Paschim Express & Golden Temple Mail.

Hi Deepak, firstly cool it with the attitude... You are nobody to demand anything from me or anyone... next time try asking without the attitude.

If RSA is used, the number of rakes needed to maintain the service come down. May not be exactly 4 but it will be less than the 8 rakes that are used on both trains. The fact that they are now arriving & departing from the same station at both ends helps in the matter reducing shunting of empty rakes around like from MMCT to BDTS and

vice-versa.

For example, when a rake of 12903 arrives at ASR at 2340 hrs can depart as 12926 at 0735 hrs thus having idle time of only abt 8 hrs.

Similarly, when a rake of 12926 arrives at MMCT at 1455 hrs can depart as 12903 at 1845 hrs thus having idle time of only abt 4 hrs.

Rake of 12904 arriving at MMCT at 2335 hrs can depart at 1125 hrs next day as 12925 thus having idle time of abt 12 hrs.

To be honest, I had completely forgotten about the changed timings of 12903/04.

Under the **old time table**, 12925 arriving at ASR at 1920 hrs could have departed as 12904 at 2125 hrs having an idle time of abt 2 hrs.

So it is workable but needs more planning with rake management & scheduled maintenance procedures.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
