Dear Sir,
In last few month passengers of Konkan Railway are suffering from big problem. Because Railway has not started a single train for Konkan region people from last 10 years, and the time for same is came now, one more passenger & one more superfast train for Konkan region has to be started now. Essential time for the same is also mentioned here for your information. Many long route trains are started on this route & they are definitely essential. That train must be a superfast & can not get halt at all station in Konkan region. But all the trains must get at least two halts in Konkan region and i.e. Ratnagiri & Kudal. Kudal is middle station between Kankavli & Sawantwadi & it is also nearest station from the city. Kudal is also centre point for Kankavli, Sawantwadi, Malvan & Vengurla, especially for complete Sindhudurga district. So priority superfast trains must get halt at Kudal rather than Kankavli or Sawantwadi. All other Express trains must get halt at Chiplun, Ratnagiri, Kankavli, Kudal & Sawantwadi stations in Konkan region. Time to reorganize the timetable of Konkan Railway has come now. And suggestion for the same is given here with for your information. While reorganizing the timetable few things must be taken under consideration.
All long route trains must halt at Panvel, Kopar & Vasai Road stations. This will allow the passengers from Western, Central & Harbor line to travel by these trains. Regarding Kopar station, length of this station has to be increased & till then all these trains have to be stopped twice. But halting these trains at Kopar station will allow the Passengers from Dombivali to Badlapur region to travel from these trains. This will reduce the pressure from Konkan Kanya, Mandvi & Janashatbdi Express. Timetable of Konkan Railways trains must be displayed properly on Vasai Road, Kopar & Dombivali & Panvel stations. And it should also announce in local news papers as it is enclosed, then only all passengers come to know about it. With giving additional halts at Vasai Road, Kopar, Chiplun, Kankavli, Kudal & Sawantwadi to all these trains, these trains can run daily instead of twice or thrice in week. Even if Rajdhani Express on this route can make daily train, by giving an additional halt at Kopar. This can give two way additional passengers to Rajdhani Express & all trains running towards Gujarat, Bikaner & Amritsar. I.e. Kopar towards Vadodara, Ahmadabad, Delhi & Kopar towards Konkan, Goa & other South region. But reservation from Kopar to Ratnagiri, Kudal, Sawantwadi & Madgaon & Kopar to Vadodara must make allowed for all these trains, including Rajdhani Express. Karvar Superfast Express, Garib Rath Express & Rajdhani Express should make daily with immediate effect with suggested changes.
These changes can easily solve the current problems. Because, political leaders do not have any concern with the general public’s legal issues, they are just involved in making political benefits of all this issues. So I studied overall Konkan Railway timetable & recommended all these things. If you implement these entire things at the earliest, all this issues will settle down very easily.
One Mumbai CST – Sawantwadi Road passenger train is now definitely very essential with Konkankanya Express. And there is also big demand from last many years for direct train from Bandra Terminus to Konkan region. If, to start a train from Bandra Terminus is not possible the same train can be started from Vasai Road. This train can be rested at Virar in day time, where Virar – Surat train is rested in night. But, this train must be a superfast. Because then only this train can reach within less time.
I hope new trains will get started on or before GANESHA festival. And other changes can be effective very soon.
This is for your information & further necessary action.
Thanks
