There is no super fast train like Rajsdhani or Turando express between Mumbai and Chennai. The travel tomr can be reduced to 16 hours instead of 24 or 26 hrs. Railways neglets this sector very much. In most of the places they still use single line. more  
QUALITY OF WAITING ROOMS SHOULD BE IMPROVED AT ALL IMPORTANT STATIONS ON PRIORITY. more  
1. Diesel prices have come down. Ask budget to reduce taxes of diesel used by Goods Train and decrease the transportation cost ,so that private trasportos will have to compete and will help in general price reduction.. 2. U are thinking of middle or higher middle class. You can reduce train fares as fuel charges have come down. Then only poor will feel that Rly is considerate of poor. Do not think how rich will get Pizza etc.on train. 3. Make Platform toilets clean. People are employed or hired for cleaning but seems that it is only on paper. AV Natu, Mulund more
