New Train Requests under Railway Budget

•Most of the LHB coaches have been used for Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto which are away from the access of the middle class in TN and have never got a chance to experience this coaches or trains at high speeds. Since LHB coaches are good and can be operated at high speed up to 200 KMPH. Several LHB coaches which are sitting idle in yards for lack of power coaches. Once the power coaches are completed please consider for usage in non Rajdhani and non Shatabdi routes also. Even middle class wants to experience it, even rich & business related cant try because it is not available in their route of TN. Based on budget I would like Railways to urgently allocate trains. There are several LHB coaches which were used for other states but none were given for TN from the time the LHB coaches were introduced.
•New LHB coaches under UDAY double decker or any other scheme Chennai Egmore – Thanjavur - Kanyakumari train needed signifying the rise of sun at Kanyakumari a favourite tourist spot. The public of TN have never had the experience of travelling by LHB coaches. the LHB coaches and Railway officials can be confident they have achieved their tasks. All LHB coaches have been used for Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto for the rich and MP. I request on urgent basis to allot new LHB coaches for a new train in this routeto operate daily or bi-weekly with Friday departure at Chennai.
•Unreserved train under Antyodaya scheme between Chennai(MAS) to Rameswaram (RMM) as soon as possible. Unreserved coaches across southern Railway yards & workshops can be used to form trains of 18 coaches. Need for one more unreserved train between Mumbai to Nagarcoil (NCJ).
•Need for new train daily or bi-weekly under any of the schemes or TEJAS or normal train to overcome bus lobby against railways between Bangalore (SBC) to 2 routes simultaneously to Karaikal (KIK) and another section to Rameswaram(RMM) with merging and bifurcation at Trichy(TPJ). On one day alone the train will go from Bangalore to Palani to use the new BG line which remains unused.
•Need for Humsafar full 3A/C train between Coimbatore to Bangalore & another trip as Bangalore to Palani via Madurai overnight train request is pending for decades as the demand is so high but Railways failed to capitalise. Need train to prove that the Railways did not fall in hands of bus lobby. The Bus operators have lobbied against the Railways preventing running of trains in this prime business route. But there is enough demand to help both Railways & bus operators to boom in this route. Train can go from Madurai to Coimbatore as day time train to reach Coimbatore for next operations.
•Trichy(TPJ) to Bangalore day time train at 7AM at Trichy is in high demand. Full sitting is needed with Chair Car Coaches of ICF if possible. This train can reach to Bangalore and return on same day back.
•A train between Bangalore split into two to Palani(PLNI) & Thiruchendur (TCN) via Coimbatore, Madurai. To help Bangalore residents to reach religious places. The train will split at Madurai. Single train to run alternate days with Friday departure from Bangalore. The route via Palani (murugan or subramaniya temple), Madurai( Meenakshi Amman temple), thiruchendur(murugan temple), Rameswaram (Shiva temple). So major religious places are covered and the business hub of Coimbatore is also covered. A bit circuitous but will help all reach their places after consultation with DRM & GM in these regions on route but train is needed. Many tourists have demanded this route.
•Increasing suburban coaches to 12 for those trains starting from Chennai central, Tambaram, Chennai Beach, Velachery, Chengalpattu during peak time of 6AM – 11AM and 4PM – 7PM.
• No RPF in EMU coaches. No RPF in women coaches of EMU and passenger trains. Why no protection for suburban and passenger trains were most abuse of women takes place and men stand inside EMU coaches. RPF presence in stations were suburban stops and identify men standing inside women suburban and targeted to book cases to bring fear. RPF men and women in size of 2 with partnership of state police to be present in stations at coach positions.No Walkie-Talkie for RPF similar to State govt police. They lack any communication between RPF, station masters, Guard.

•Making Shirdi train from Chennai to Shirdi as daily train. Please provide extra train from Chennai to Bangalore at night post 10PM. Need for Karaikal/Nagapattinam to Mysore train via Thanjavur.
•Need DEMU unreserved passenger between Chennai Egmore to Thiruvannamalai via Villupuram and Chennai to Pondicherry to run daily from 6AM to night 11 pm as demand for unreserved.
•Please extend the freight corridor announced from Kharagpur to Vijayawada be extended to Thoothukudi also as TN state govt ready to fund. The Roll-on-Roll-off in major routes was a major expectation.
•Remodelling of existing engines of both diesel and electric to aerodynamic shape on urgent basis as it helps several litres of fuel and electricity as power utilisation is reduced as it can pierce through air and move forward. But Railway engines are still old design of very minimal or flat front portions which has led to several litres of diesel wasted. The coaches are capable of travelling at more than 150 kmph but the engine design prevents further increase and engines must be designed in miniature size of toy and tested in closed environments with help of engineering students and implemented using aluminium based front portion designing. It is not that tough as many countries across the globe have done it.
•Consider PPP development of Royapuram station near Chennai to help in next 5 years to start train services across India as the existing stations have reached peak load. Tambaram can be used for south India but Royapuram can be used as both passenger and freight centre easily. Railways must invite tenders for PPP for Royapuram to develop at the same time maintain heritage status. British used the station as major station but passengers and freight can be used from here. Ask MP, MLA of that region and state Govt to contribute to Railway to develop station as terminal. Public funding can also be requested.
•Consider giving PPP development of important stations which are in high tourist usage like Kanyakumari, Rameswaram  to improve facilities. PPP tender for Thiruvanmiyur MRTS, Chennai with theatre built.
•Extending more trains stopping at Coimbatore(CBE) to Mettupalayam (MTP) so that tourists can reach ooty hill station easily.
•Adding 1 Suvidha 3 A/C coach in all high demand routes and the rules of suvidha trains will apply to book at premium rates and the booking will open 10 -15 days to help to reduce dependency on tatkal.
