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.

With the introduction of HWH-GAYA VB, it is expected that HWH-RNC SHBTD EXP will loose occupancy. In morning from Hwh to dhn, VB is just trailing behin shatabdi, but in evening, VB will overtake Shatabdi exp and reach HWH 25 mins before Shatabdi express.

How can I reach gomoh from Dhanbad without train?

I have to catch Purushottam Express from Gomoh and I'm travelling on Ranchi Shatabdi from Howrah to Dhanbad on October.

If I am not mistaken Ola does work in Dhanbad, Jishnu it would wise for you once check into Ola and Uber mobile applications and search the required route and travel details.
If they are not available then go for the cabs lying outside the railway station, they will ask for around 1300-1400, you may negotiate it upto 1000-1200 range. If you are travelling with female family members/heavy luggage go for this.
Alternatively you can reserve an auto, it is comparitively less frequent but their are autos available that can be reserved upto...
more...
Gomoh.They will charge around half to 2/3s of what the cabbies ask you.
Don't go for the bus route, you will miss your train. The buses to Topchanchi are comparitively affordable but it will be a hassle for you and given the time factor in question, going by bus is not recommended at all !
Understand that Gomoh is quite the distance from Dhanbad by road, and you will have to waddle through the office time traffic in Dhanbad. Time is of the utmost essence and you shouldn't be wasting much time around Dhanbad.

Jishnu, I just found out from a friend who regularly takes the Bbs bound Rajdhani from Gomoh in the morning.
The cab rates are Rs 1200 and auto rates are Rs 800.
They will start off by asking higher rates but don't pay any higher.
He also recommends taking a cab because autos take up nearly 1.5 hrs to cover the distance.
Tell...
more...
the cab driver in advance that you have a train at 10:45 AM, cabs do cover up the distance in 1 hrs.
The cab will take the City Centre Barwadda NH2 route most likely as it is the shortest route and will save the most time.

It is still a fairly risky, not at all advisable chain!

Re# 6163696-10              
Generally 12019 runs on time atleast upto Dhanbad, however I do agree that it is a risky chain ! The buffer time is very less and road connectivity between Dhanbad and Gomoh stations is very poor. Compounding the problem is that the main problem that Jishnu will face is not whether 12019 is on time, but how much time he wastes around Dhanbad. Not a recommended chain under any circumstances.
