Jabalpur Mandal ke New Katni Junction-Singrauli railway line pe dohrīkaran relline ko jodne ke liye Joba aur Madwasangram stations pe pre-NI aur non-interlocking kaam kiya jaana hai. Iska result yeh hai ki West Central Railway se shuru hone wali, khत्म hone wali ya guzarne wali kai train services 28 September se 8 October, 2024 ke beech cancel ya reroute ki jaayengi. Cancel hone wali trains mein Jabalpur-Singrauli Intercity Express (11651 & 11652), Bhopal-Singrauli Express (22165 & 22166), aur Singrauli-Nizamuddin Express (22167 & 22168) shamil hain. Reroute ki jaane wali trains mein Madar Junction-Kolkata Express (19608 & 19607), Santragachi-Ajmer Express (18009 & 18010), Howrah-Bhopal Express (13025 & 13026), aur Ahmedabad-Kolkata Express (19413 & 19414) shamil hain.

Agree Agree
In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced wnd cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that my post don't get archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become a flop idea.

In my opinion railways should extend 12881/82 Puri Shalimar Garibrath upto Ranchi jn via Hijli, Tatanagar , and should also change the coach composition of this upto 22 coaches instead of 16 coaches.
