Agree
Don't expect new trains in Adra division. After 2014 Adra division has not got any originating train. In last 5 years, Adra division area had 4 BJP MPs. But all were useless fellows.
Adra division passenger service is one of the 3rd class service by IR.
The originating trains that Adra division got since Independence, maximum of them was by Mamta Banerjee when she was Railway minister.

2014, since BJP came into power, Adra Division got ZERO NEW Originating trains, instead around 8 trains got permanently cancelled by IR in the name of ZBTT 2020.

Why coz still Traction Substation works are going.
That Inspection is done only for name sake (just to show in the paper records of SR electrification progress).
Even SSP works weren't completed in this section till date. But PCEE INSPECTION done successfully before 8 months ЁЯШВ

IR now is foolishly wasting money and resources in manufacturing "God knows what"....
Humsafars...Suvidha....Antyodaya....swarna shatabdis....Utkrisht rakes....Gatimaan....Vande bharat...Vande bharat sleeper....Vande metro...Tejas rajdhani...Tejas shatabdi...Uday...Amrit Bharat.....Double decker....and what not in coming future...

This kind of heterogenous working reminds me of my childhood days when i used to have a flickering mind....and never used to focus on one thing at a time.....
Why
...
more...
so much "Khichdi" nowadays ?

Why cant they keep it simple and clear.
Run:
Rajdhani with Tejas rakes.
Shatabdi and Gatimaan with Vande bharat rakes.
Duronto with Vande bharat sleeper rakes (AC and Non AC both)
Scrap Humsafar Tag & rename them Garib Rath.


More suggestions or criticisms are welcome.

The branding of trains in democratic setup like India is to differentiate and also highlight during the elections. This is the same for all the government's and railway ministers (some times) promoting their parties or image.

Indian railways could not able to merge all the similar category trains into a generic name.

(1)

As we discussed earlier, the type of trains like Duronto, Humsafar, Gareeb Rath, SK, Rajdhani, Tejas Rajdhani, Vande Bharat Sleeper, etc are one category - "AC Superfast" trains.

(2) we can take all long distance trains like Mail, Express, Antyodaya, Vivek, etc as "Express" Trains with commuting average speed of less than 60 kmph.

(3) Trains in SuperFast category can continue as "Super Fast" trains with minimum 60 kmph average speeds

(4) Shatabdhi, Vande Bharat, Gatiman, Etc are in "AC Intercity" trains.

(5) Jan shatabdhi, Intercity, Vande Metro, Double Decker, etc in the " Intercity " Trains category.

(6) All passenger trains, MEMU, DEMUs, etc can be combined into one category "Janata Express".

(7) All local trains will continue as "Suburban" trains.

These categories will reduce the confusion and also streamline ticket prices across the current nomenclature and avoid confusion amongst ticketing staff in issuing the tickets.

They made locomotives homogeneous as now mostly wap 7 and wag 9 are abundant .

Rest is like rayta, pseudo price hike as they can't raise fares directly in name of some aesthetics or makeup.
