Agar kalka stn pr 22 coach LHB rake place krne k provision ho nhi sakta toh phir kalka Mail ko 16 coach lhb rake hi dena sahi hain

Shatabdi Express is having 18 coaches.

So if they want then they can run Kalka Mail with 18 LHB coaches then Pantry Car , 3 Sleeper, 1 3rd AC and 1 Second AC coach has to be removed.

How about reduce 12311/12 to 16 coaches Fully AC rake (with combination of 1AC, 2AC, 3AC, 3AC Economy), and run 12329/30 WB SK Exp upto CDG for 4-5 days a week - to make up with good combination of Sleepers and Unreserved coaches?

I see noone ever raising the point about WB being the only state in India with just a weekly Sampark Kranti train! (Why 4/5 days is so that North Bengal / NJP also can have parallel run for remaining 2/3 days of North Bengal Sampark Kranti).

I'm sure alternate RSA can be made for 12379/80 Jallianwala Bagh Exp. But this is a critical need of the hour, to maintain connectivity between Chandigarh/Kalka/HP and Eastern India. If ER cannot take care of it, then better to hand over to NR!

Thanx. Kalka Mail is only connection to Kalka from various cities of Uttar Pradesh (Ghaziabad , Aligarh, Firozabad etc.) and these Cities will loose NON AC connection with Kalka due to this step.

In that case, if at all this train were to become a 16 coacher, even then it would be reduced to just 2-3 Sleepers (from currently 10)... much like Upasana/Kumbh, would it be of much help - given the quantum of rush on this train?

Because given the current infrastructure around Kalka railway station, it's frankly quite herculean to construct platforms there now for 22 coach trains. For standard 22 coach LHB rake, it'll have to be short terminated at CDG, which again some of our forum members were saying wouldn't be
...

viable, not to forget Shimla/Kalka's sole connection to UP and East India to be lost forever.

Any which ways, increasing frequency of WB SK with extension upto CDG for now seems like a pretty feasible option (I wonder why Railways has not built second alternative terminal for such an important city like Chandigarh already, at SAS Nagar Mohali for example).

I recall even before VB's existence there was a demand of BGP HWH morning departure train not because to satisfy some MP's ego but for demand of actual passenger , I acknowledge that Nishikant_dubey is doing thing for his constituency but these are just to show off and not in practical sense. Hope the 15 20 passengers who will be Deboarding in the halts of dubey ji will spend enough to have his constituency developed like kolkata and bhagalpur munger
