दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम, बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदेभारत को लेकर बड़ा अपडेट, आप पर पड़ेगा सीधा असर…

In Chhattisgarh, two Vande Bharat Express trains are operational. The Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat is almost always full due to its 8-coach configuration, leading to high occupancy rates (reaching 117%) and waiting lists. On the other hand, the Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat, with 16 coaches, faces low occupancy rates, with around 83% of...

seats remaining empty. This has resulted in significant losses for the railway. To address this, the railway is considering swapping the rakes of these two trains. This would mean the 16-coach rake of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train would be allocated to the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat, improving the latter's occupancy and providing confirmed tickets for passengers. Conversely, the Durg-Visakhapatnam train would operate with 8 coaches, which is expected to increase its occupancy to over 50%. This swap would also help the railway recover some of its losses. Additionally, the railway is considering adjusting the timetables of these trains. The Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat currently arrives in Raipur at 6:13 AM, followed by the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat at 8:01 AM. The railway aims to reduce the gap between their arrival times to 5 minutes, potentially improving the utilization of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train.

Isse, Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat ke passengers ko fayda hoga, kyunki unhe confirmed ticket milega. Dusri taraf, Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat 8 coach ke saath chalane par, occupancy 50% se zyada ho jaayega. Isse, railway ko bhi nuksan kam hoga. Railway dono trains ke timetable ko bhi badalane par soch rahi hai. Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat subah 6:13 AM par Raipur pahunchti hai, aur Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat subah 8:01 AM par pahunchti hai. Railway in dono trains ke pahunchne ke time mein 5 minute ka gap karne ki soch rahi hai, jisse, Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat ka utilisation badh sakta hai.

Oct 13 (14:23) Indian Railways to Swap Vande Bharat Express Rakes in Chhattisgarh to Improve Occupancy

CG : दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम, बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदेभारत को लेकर बड़ा अपडेट,

Two Vande Bharat Express trains are currently operational in Chhattisgarh. The Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat is almost always full, operating with only 8 coaches, resulting in limited seating and an occupancy rate of 117%, with waiting lists on many days.

passenger turnout, with 83% of seats remaining empty. This situation is causing significant losses for the Indian Railways. To address this, the Railways are considering swapping the rakes (coaches) of these two trains, putting the 16-coach rake of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train on the Bilaspur-Nagpur route and vice versa. This would increase the seating capacity on the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat, making it easier for passengers to get confirmed tickets. Additionally, the Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat with its reduced 8-coach rake is expected to see an occupancy rate over 50%. The rakes swap is expected to benefit the Railways by mitigating their losses. Furthermore, the Railways are considering adjusting the timetables of these trains. The Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat currently arrives in Raipur at 6:13 AM, followed by the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat at 8:01 AM. The Railways are exploring the possibility of having the Durg-Visakhapatnam train arrive in Raipur 5 minutes after the Bilaspur-Nagpur train. This would potentially allow passengers from Bilaspur to access the Vande Bharat train service for Visakhapatnam, while also increasing the occupancy of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train.

Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat train mein 16 coaches hain, lekin isme passengers nahin mil rahe hain. Train almost khali rehti hai, 83% seats khali jaati hain. Railway ko isse bahut nuksan ho raha hai. Ab railway Chhattisgarh ke Durg-Visakhapatnam ki train ke 16 coaches ko Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat train ke 8 coaches ke saath badal dene ka soch raha hai. Isse Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat train ke passengers ko fayda hoga. Train mein bahut baithne ki jagah hone se passengers ko confirm ticket mil payegi. Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat mein bhi 8 coaches hone se 50% se zyada occupancy ho jaayegi. Isse railway ko bhi fayda hoga, unke nuksan ki bharpaai ho jaayegi. In trains ka timetable bhi badal sakta hai. Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat train subah 6:13 baje Raipur pahunchti hai. Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat subah 8:01 baje Raipur pahunchti hai. Railway yeh soch raha hai ki Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat train ko Bilaspur-Nagpur train ke pahunchne ke 5 minute baad Raipur pahunchane ka, isse Bilaspur ke passengers ko Visakhapatnam tak Vande Bharat train ki facility milegi aur Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat train bhi almost house full chalne lagegi.

रायपुर. छत्तीसगढ़ में दो वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस का परिचालन हो रहा है. बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदे भारत लगभग हाउस फुल चल रही है. इस ट्रेन का परिचालन मात्र 8 कोच के साथ किया जा रहा है. ऐसे में बर्थ की संख्या भी कम है. हालात यह है कि ट्रेन की एक्यूपेसी 117 प्रतिशत तक पहुंच जाती है. मतलब कई दिन तो ट्रेन में वेटिंग लिस्ट चलती है. दूसरी तरफ दुर्ग विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत ट्रेन का परिचालन 16 कोच के साथ किया जा रहा है. इस ट्रेन में सफर करने के लिए यात्री नहीं मिल रहे है. लगभग पूरी ट्रेन खाली रहती है.

जा रहा है कि 83 प्रतिशत बर्थ खाली जा रही है. ऐसे में रेलवे को भारी नुकसान का सामना करना पड़ रहा है. रेलवे अब छत्तीसगढ़ दुर्ग-विशाखापट्‌नम में 16 कोच, 83 प्रतिशत बर्थ रहती है खाली प्रतिशत एक्यूपेंसी की इन दोनों बंदे भारत टेन के रैकों की बदला-बदली करने पर विचार कर रहा है. मतलब दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम ट्रेन के 16 रैक को बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदे भारत ट्रेन के 8 रैंक के साथ बदला जाएगा. इसका सीधा लाभ बिलासपुर-नागपुर बंदे भारत ट्रेन के यात्रियों को मिलेगा.

ट्रेन में पर्याप्त बर्थ होने से यात्रियों को कंफर्म टिकट मिलेगी. दूसरी दुर्ग- विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत को 8 रैंक के साथ चलाने पर एक्यूपेसी 50 प्रतिशत से अधिक हो जाएगी. मतलब ट्रेन की 50 प्रतिशत से ज्यादा बर्थ में यात्री नजर आएंगे. रैकों के एक्सचेंज का फायदा रेलवे को भी है. रैंकों की अदला-बदला से रेलवे को अपने नुकसान की भरपाई करने में मद्द मिलेगी.

ट्रेनों का बदल सकता है टाइम-टेबल

दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत ट्रेन की लगभग खाली चल रही है. ऐसे में रेलवे दूसरे विकल्प पर भी विचार कर रही है. दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत ट्रेन सुबह 6.13 बजे रायपुर पहुंची है. इसके करीब 2 घंटे बाद बिलासपुर-नागपुर बंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन सुबह 8.01 बजे रायपुर रेलवे स्टेशन पहुंचती है. रेलवे इन दोनों ट्रेनों के टाइम टेबल में परिवर्तन करना चाहती है. मतलब बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदे भारत ट्रेन के रायपुर पहुंचे के 5 मिनट बाद दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत ट्रेन रायपुर पहुंचे. इससे बिलासपुर के यात्रियों को विशाखापट्नम तक के लिए वंदे भारत ट्रेन की सुविधा मिलेगी. दूसरी तरफ दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम वंदे भारत एक्सप्रेस लगभग हाउस फुल चलने लगेगी.

I don't think such useless and dumb news articles should be shared on IRI. Everybody knows BSP NGP was a white elephant and improved with the occupancy all because of the replacement of rakes. It seems near to impossible that it'll again be given a 16 coach rake.
Regarding Durg VSKP, the rake should either be swapped with a 8 coacher (YPR SC etc.) or the VB should be entirely scrapped.
It's high time IR is running such empty VBs and doing nothing to improve upon their services.
