•Completion of Tirumalpur (TMLP) to Arakkonam (AJJ)
stretch pending due to issues raised by Navy of INS Rajali, Arakkonam,
TamilNadu and Defence ministry. It seems Railways has worked out new route but
Defence ministry is yet to give funds please help with the same. This route if
completed will be a big boost to Chennai residents and workers who have to
travel to work daily. A distance of 15km of track portion is not completed and
new route if it exceeds also will be helping those passengers who have to
travel to Chengalpattu or Tambaram will be put to much ease. This work was
delayed to defence ministry issues but since the issues are sorted out please
speed up work so that passengers are benefitted. This work is also stuck for
decades. This will help circular movement of public for work from Arakkonam –
Chengalpattu-Tambaram – Beach – Arakkonam. This project will be big boost to
suburban commuter's who have been upset on why this project has been help up.
Track laying and electrification of partial portion needed. Some portion of the
existing tracks will be reused so sanctioning of funds for this will be very
meagre and already pending funds of defence funds can be used to complete in
less than 1 year with ease.
•Trains between Lalgudi- Srirangam-Thanjavur-Kumbakonam whenever time slots are available and especially in weekends for religious tourists. This train will not touch Trichy junction and passengers in Trichy can get into the train at Srirangam mostly possibly at 7.30 AM crossing at Srirangam and return 9PM.
•Need for Vending machines in Day time sitting trains from Trichy to Chennai, Madurai-Chennai trains including Pallavan, Vaigai, Guruvayur trains with vending machines which will dispense water bottles, butter milk, biscuits, tetra pack/tinned fruit juices,. Separate vending machines in alternate coaches either tea or coffee. Since pantry car is not there and the intense heat takes a toll on the passengers in the coaches in non A/C coaches. It is impossible to sit in these coaches at day time due to intense heat hence vending machines in alternate coaches refilled by IRCTC appointed contractor to refill at appropriate stations for passengers to not get down unnecessarily at stops were trains stops for less time. The vending machines can be operated by coins or notes hence public especially senior citizens and ladies who cant take risk to get down to buy in stops were trains stops for only 2 mins. So it would be advisable to have vending machines immediately and also it was mentioned in budget so it will be very helpful. For heaven sake please add vending machines it is very difficult to travel. Add in alternate coaches or every coach also near the doors and near toilets by creating space and appointing contractors for the same to operate and refill. The vending machines will help public a lot and visible change in Railways as this scenario of travelling in hot weather with no access to quench thirst and overcome heat no attempt was made earlier.
•Why has Railways made no attempts to provide RO water inside coaches. Railways has removed pantry coaches and makes stops time less than 2 mins then how can public quench their thirst in very hot climate in South India. Many senior citizens will get stroke if no water of drinkable quality not made available.
•Make efforts to prevent heat to flow inside from top of the coaches. Try to use any material other than asbestos to prevent heat flow inside the compartments. Appoint any consultants to design coaches or use of materials to prevent heating of coaches which are operated in day time especially and have pleasant feeling inside the coaches.
•Please add A/C chair car and one sleeper coach in 16129 train from Chennai Egmore(MS) to Tuticorin (TN) it runs at day time and hot climate people will tend to use A/C coach but no coach as such has been provided which is unfortunate and for a long journey impossible to go without sleeper how can a passenger sit for 12 hours from Egmore to Tuticorin (TN) please provide 1 sleeper.
•Try to increase coach production in ICF by automation of coach manufacturing parts with robotic arms, controls, automation systems from Siemens, General Electric, etc,. We need large number of coaches and trains to suffice demand of new tracks laid and doubling of sections if coach production is not increased public and Railways both cannot benefit. Automation of production line will help.
•No attempts have been made to indicate the water level indicator in coaches to refill at major junctions. Please ask ICF to add that feature. Also make attempts to provide separate drinking water tap in coaches to be filled in at coach centres with RO water for usage in trains.
•Consider having 1 A/C suvidha coach in trains which have high no of wait listing. This coach booking must be opened 7-10 days before slot and priced similar to suvidha trains at premium far for those who want to book at premium fares but planned travel at last minute but don’t want to get tensed by whether they will get ticket in tatkal or not. A additional coach must be added to that train and not using existing compartment for this. This must be done by trial and error by adding and seeing the demand if public don’t book that coach must be tried in some other train. The trial period must be 1 month. Suvidha entire train is not that useful but this model might help both passengers and railways. If you are able to add 20 suvidha A/C coaches in major trains it will bring in good revenue and passengers who want to get confirmed ticket at last minute and are ready to pay extra will use this. If suvidha A/C coach doesn’t get filled before tatkal day it should be added to tatkal quota and if more tatkal are only booked and suvidha a/c coach is not picking up then you can do trial in another train.
