What will they do with the rake from Sunday to Thrusday ? Is there any other AB planned from HWH in the list. Just checked there is no other AB planned from HWH in the 26 list posted.

If IR really want to decrease the load on existing HWH SMVT daily express and Durontothey need to have 4 days a week frequency with 2 rakes. But IR RB and RM are only interested in putting number of trains for count purpose. The timings doesn't need 2 WAP 5 engine on both...

sides. If they really want to full utilize double engine push pull power then these ABs should be in new slots with 3-4 days a week frequency and lesser stops of 100km avg and higher average speed of 65kmph.

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.

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.
