rajdhani concept is diluted. There are more than 5 rajdhanis that do not run NECESSARILY from the state capital railway station.

please think of the passengers this rajdhani will cater to. Huge load. Also lack of trains from vskp to delhi. Just one train and that too 5 days a week. Rest either bi weekly or slip. Vskp has maintainance facilities as well. The coastal andhra will be served. Also no duronto please. Immediates should also benefit. Acc express will not provide catering. So i would not prefer that

i am not saying that the waiting is fake, but Muzaffarpur has more than half a dozen trains running daily to new delhi. Vishakahaptnam has none. Its either few days a week or slip coaches

why are you so firm and rigid on your point sir? Even indian railways has exceptions like guwahati dibrugarh rajdhani, where it doesnt even touch new delhi. Its for the benefit of passengers. Had it stuck to rules, then even that rajdhani should never have been introduced
#qw3r

---

ac express/garib rath would also do, but now gr are no longer introduced(exception-puri sbc gr as it was running as special). Nothing is impossible is what i have studied in my school days. So "it cannot be started" would be incorrect to say as we cant read the future. What i want is A train with catering which serves intermediate passengers too. If it has sleeper coaches, no issues, but catering charges should be included in fare and must serve intermediates too
#qw3r

---

sir, please dont misunderstand me. If a concept is hit(with reference to rajdhani), then why not extend it? I would always prefer a train that has catering included in fares. Even railways are at profit becuse the charges are quite high as to what is served. Also if food purchased in bulk, further reduces the charge. So its a case of all profit. I agree that even muzaffarpur-samastipur(in bihar), jabalpur-indore(in madhya pradesh), madurai-tirupati(in tamil nadu) and pune-nagpur(in maharashtra) also require such and steps might be taken, though gradually in this regard. After all rajdhanis,are without fail a hit genre of trains, unlike duronto

no. It was not a consolidated reply. It was an offending reply.
"Asking for a Rajdhani with giving an example of ADI is weird. Its for Namesake argument." is what you have said and replied to original blog. If you wanted to say its consolidated reply, please reply to the blog that has made it drift, not to the original blog. Justification of one's statement,however absurd it is, has been a trend, but i regarded you to be far from it.
#qw3r

---

please read 39th reply. Also, you are not forced to board nzm sbc rajdhani if you dont want to pay for catering. Karnataka is always there.
#qw3r

thank you sir. You are free to archive this. Also you can suppress each and every discussion by the phrase "please forward your suggestion to relevant authorities." That will give no scope for discussion at all. Facts are facts and this is a mere suggestion for discussion. Nowhere offensive till now. Some may find it uselss and some useful. To generalise it by looking through one's own eyes would be unfair. Rest depends on you. Thanks
#qw3r

---

could we please stick to the topic? The logic of a demand depends on the blog starter and participants. As i have said to generalise a view as one looks from his own eyes would not be fair. Some may find a demnad logical and some illogical. Also nowhere in the blog will you find controversy or fight. Its a healthy discussion. Please participate if you have something to say. Else 9 more blogs are running simultaneously on page 1 itself
#qw3r

i sincerely pray we do not have a separate category for bhopal shatabdi, white elephant, howrah station and lhb rakes soon. As even they are discussed quite frequently
#qw3r

---

sir, can you please show me a single blog in this post in a bad taste? It was the archival that brought the ugly turn. Also as individuals, we are bound to have difference in opinions. Suppose you say, howrah rajdhani is quite fast and twenty people agree. Would you call it a discussion? Innovation is always out of the box. I wont comment about other blogs, but this blog has been controversy free, disagreement are part of healthy discussion.
#qw3r

i like this reply the most as it sticks to the topic. Yes, these points are discussed but still i would request you to go through the 49th reply. It sums up my blog summary
#qw3r

---

there have been 96 blogs prior to this discussing pros and cons. You may please go through them. I have summarised my view in 49th post, 24th post and 39th post.
#qw3r

---

its already summarised in 24th, 39th and 49th post
#qw3r

your reply shows you have read between the lines. Please re read it to know the meaning of my suggestion. Also a message to moderator should be to moderator, not to samta express. I expected you to know this as the maximum posts of - send a pvt post to moderator has been advised by admins themselves.
#qw3r

---

Agree to the core. Very soon we will have separate blogs for new delhi, bhopal shatabdi, white elephant and lhb rakes. Also separate blogs for howrah, bangalore and chennai
#qw3r

---

i have never asked that. My fourth request, please stick to the topic and read the previous discussion to get a feel of this post. Rajdhanis do not run necessarily from state capitals
#qw3r

if you have an apple shop, will you showcase the ones which are never bought for reasons whatsoever?
#qw3r

ohh thanks. I thought my post will be deleted as a punishment for deviating away from topic.
#qw3r

ideally and legally-NO
practically and in reality-YES

I did not know that i am allowed to board reserved coach with waiting prs tatkal ticket in Duronto. Is it a new rule? Please share document which shows waiting passengers allowed to board reserved coach in Duronto/Rajdhani/any other train
#qw3r

---

i am sorry even my this reply is incorrect. I had mistaken it for partially confirmed ticket. No, the fifth passenger cannot board at all. Be it tatkal prs/e ticket, if it ends in waiting you are bound to cancel it.
#qw3r

---

suppose i have one confirm berth and three other waiting passenger. Can i take the three passenger on my berth, if i am ready to adjust without food and bed roll in rajdhani/duronto? Yesterday, you had said that candidates below 18 get a voter id card and today this. I am amazed.
#qw3r

---

passengers do board a train does not count for legal permission. I have apologized later for that post of mine. It was incorrect from my part. I had thought it to be partially confirmed but it is a separate waitlisted ticket and he is not allowed to board. If he boards, that is different issue. I was talking about rules, not practice. And no rule allows separate wait listed ticket to board reserved coach.
#qw3r

---

strange replies i am getting. Are you sure sir that the fifth passenger who has an all-together separate wait listed tatkal prs ticket is allowed to board and travel if he is ready to adjust in Duronto?
#qw3r

---

but sir, these are fully reserved trains, isnt it?
#qw3r

---

suppose a scenario where the no.of waiting passengers is more? Say i have 3 tickets and i want 3 more to travel? Wont it cause inconvenience to reserved passenger?
#qw3r

---

i more or less agree to the later part of the discussion. You are probably correct and have explained well. Thanks
#qw3r

---

if not now,he may follow it later. I hope his query is answered
#qw3r

---

nice idea, but wont it delay the running time of these class of trains branded to be one of the fastest in the nation?
#qw3r

---

should be tried as a special and when patronage has been doubly assured,can be introduced if the authorities feel so. even in my blog /blog/post/465710 i have expressed deep concerns for the lack of fast connectivity between some cities
#qw3r

---

but sir, why not successful duronto as explained by me in /blog/post/465743/11 it has a technical halt anyways and halts for 10min. adding another 5 min of halt will not hamper much schedule. and it doesnt eat up quota as well, because its a different train altogether. no encroaching whatsoever!!
#qw3r

---

blaming politics in this context reminds me of my exam efforts. If i failed,i blamed god that it was not his wish. If i succeeded, it was all my hard work and dedication. God had no role. If a train/concept is hit,credit to railways. If it fails all blames on politics
#qw3r

---

pantry car is not a factor at all as none of the shatabdis(hope i am correct)have pantry. For short distance even without pantry can be managed. Also,not even half of the long distance duronto are full ac(hope i am correct again). So even eog is out of question

i do not have a regular member id as yet. I blog as a guest and yesterday i was suspended after my last blog in blog entry /blog/post/465500 in which ihave asked-"which train? Have you clicked the pics?" as this post is non offending but led to my suspension, so i assume it was an error on the behalf of the administration. I later sent an e-mail to the moderator and it has fortunately been revoked. Thanks for your concern. I have learnt about the advantages of blogging as a member by the e-mail sent to me by the moderator, and i ll try to log in as and when i feel comfortable.
