Taking Superfast charge on ordinary trains

Southern Railway

2257 KOCHUVELI GR For this train Railway is charging Super fast train 30 rs and there is a clause that 55 Km per hour should be managed as an average speed for Super fast trains.

It starts from here YPR YESVANTPUR JN 1 - 21:00 and reaches KCVL KOCHUVELI 1 12:40 which is 0808 kms away.

Speed = DIstance / time

So the avg speed is 15 hours 40 minutes

speed =808/15.66 = 51 Km per hour. Then why are you taking this charge ..Please remove this charge of 30 Rs.

Railway is fooling people and trying to join the Bus lobby. There is only one train from Kerala on Sunday to Bangalore when there is 90 or so private buses. The garib rath on the way back starts at midnight in cochin and reaches by 12 pm .that too on Tuesdays (nbothing on weekends).. So most of the people dont gain anything out of this. So it goes unoccupied and slowly Railway will stop it saying it is loss. It stopped Hosur stop because lot of people working in Bangalore were making use of this stop since the next stop is 60 km or so away.

We want a stop near Electronic CIty which is easily accessible by Bus.

We want more trains on Sunday and Fridays to Bangalore and from Bangalore to Kerala when there is more need since train charge is 1/3rd charge of the bus.
