People have realized that 3AC economy is a pure sham, passengers are preferring WL/RAC in 3AC over a confirm ticket in 3E.

Absolutely, I'm sorry for the people how late they realise so.
I'm above 6ft so IR hate us...
But from other's experience I heard
1. Hard to sit during day
2. Uncomfortable for all passengers
...
more...
if one try to search or take anything from there luggage
3. Bottle holder is on head
4. No easy to sleep for healthy person.
5. Even hard to stand, roam for relatively skinny person when all berth up.
6. Some of my friend has complaint about being claustrophobic at lower berth(take 2ac then bhai)
7. I think seats are comparatively of low quality because they are newly so expections were quite high.
8. Forcing 3E over 3AC also discomfort many.

In recent days I've seen unhealthy obsession of members with trains and stations.

For example the Vikramshila guy, he left the site over a stoppage rumor. The Malda guy, he's inconsolable after Farakka went to BLGT. The Ara, Patna and Sasaram guys, they think people are jealous of a city they probably won't even visit. The Kakinada and Khammam guys, they went on abusing other cities. Or the anti Vande Bharat guy, leaving no stone unturned to create controversy.
...
more...

At the end of the day, trains are just a transport medium. They'll get extended if railways sees the feasibility or even if strong politics is involved.

Trains aren't some status symbol, regular people don't even care if they're sitting in some random special or a named train as long as it takes them to their destinations.

You can get a thousand trains, or maybe get none e.g. Rajgir area, but will that change what the city has to offer? Or what is the potential of that city? Or what are the living standards of people in that city? No.

As I've commented earlier, trains aren't life. Being a fan is okay, but making them a matter of life or ego is equally bad.

Hope people understand this and indulge in constructive discussions. Many older members have already left this site, due to the undue politics and controversies. If that keeps happening all that will remain is a fish market with no knowledgeable source in sight.

Let's up for Discussion,
Who thinks Indian Railway should develop broad gauge HSR instead of importing standard gauge and have some trust in Indian sharpest mind and talents even it takes 5 years but what we have will be our own.

It's hard guys, we've achieved 220km/hr in Indigenous developed Train 18 so it's matter of time and money in 5-8 years we

will have a train set say train 47 touching 400, given separate HSR track.

Why broad gauge?
Interoperability - In many countries HSR track are used for freight traffic in night time.
IR can use other premium trains on this like train 18 with their full capabilities on these track in non peak hours or behind an HSR to leverage more margins even if HSR route isn't feasible for now.
Win-win
Reduced infrastructure - no need for new yard, shed, maintenance and station. HSR can also use same infrastructure as other premium trains.
HSR can run on dedicated tracks and when entering their suburban stoppage switch to normal IR tracks(or semi HSR).
Hassle Less travel - It would be easy board deboard all types of train from same station so any passenger taking connecting train from remote location don't need to exit railway station.

Well it's further up for discussion for cities like Delhi and Mumbai it shall be good idea to build seprate track and station to cater heavy traffic will be matter of more reaserch because your last 100km journey takes hr/s because of no dedicated tracks.
Let me clear I don't think HSR is waste of money we should have also these options and I'm in strong advocate to have HSR with the same gauge as normal tracks because everywhere they have same gauge and they ticked all these points I've mentioned.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
