Trains have to be designed for maximum comfort with minimum maintenance required so that the service shall remain good thru the life of the train coach .Modt of the coaches be designed got Aircindutioning they Solar as well as captive power usages and the stoppages be staggered between trains to maximum the run of about 2 hours at a stretch .this can also distiributecthe passengers better and trains would be loaded better .

Lots of good work and progress, while there is room for more always
Bad waiting period for railway reservation - 120 days - pathetic. Cancellation/Waitlisted/Tatkal tickets rules not in favor of common people. IRCTC site still pathetic response.
Issues:
1) Travelling without reservation in coaches for reserved tickets is a very common sight, which is not possible without the connivance of the Ticket checker and the Railway Police. I had received a video clip showing a policeman in the coach collecting money from the passenger in the reserved coach. This menace has to be tackled fastest possible.
2) Outside vendors in coaches without a licence and name plate on the lapel must not be allowed, for the reasons that the food/eatables/drinks they sell in the coaches are extremely of poor quality and at much higher cost. At least, their entry in the reserved coach should be banned.
3. Pantry cars are not maintained at the expected standards. Cleanliness is lacking.
4. Official vendors from the Pantry Car must carry the official Menu Card with authenticated prices of the food articles, along with a cash receipt book. The Ticket Collector/Checker should carry a list of railway officers concerned with the maintenance of the pantry car, toilets, and coaches. There are often seen handicapped beggars cleaning the coach-floors and then demanding money from the passengers, which is very wrong. They must be prohibited.
5. Often, in long distant running trains, it is observed the water gets finished on way and there is no mechanism of replenishing the same. Also, the toilets are very dirty the cleanliness is not there with baskets getting overloaded. There should be posted for 6-8 hours one sweeper for serving 4-5 coaches regularly.
Despite efforts of the Minister, the corrupt employees are ensuring that nothing comes out. I wrote a complaint against shoddy condition of Railway Retiring Room at Kanpur Central station in November 2016 and shoddy state of services at Bhopal Junction in January 2017 but till date the employees who are merrily pilfering funds have not cared to respond.

After Mr.Suresh Prabhu took over the reigns, the state of Indian railway platform has become fantastic. Earlier we used to see/get dirty things(and even dirty smell of toilet(i.e., urine smell)) on the platforms/walkovers. Now, there are cleaners standing alert in these areas and maintaining it pretty clean. I observed this especially in Bangalore and Mantralaya railway stations. Also there are many services like 'destination station alert' and dedicated telephone numbers for different services etc.,

Kudos to Mr. Suresh Prabhu and his team for the great work which was not observed for many years earlier. This is the best example to highlight that 'IF ONE WANTS TO DO THE WORK/SERVICE, HE/SHE CAN DO IT AT ANY COST IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SIZE OF THE ORGANIZATION'.

I had a terrible experience of travelling on Howrah-Pune Duranto Exp started on 3rd Nov-18 from Howrah. It commenced by 1 and half hrs late and arrived Pune by 9 hrs late on 4th Nov. Food supply stopped after lunch hour and it did not halt on stations but at odd places, from where you could get no foods and beverages. Nowadays they charge variable fares and I paid @ Rs.3500 each while booking my tickets. And this train was getting the least priority while all other trains were being allowed to go ahead of it. All this at a cost equal to airfare! Who is going to travel by Duranto, a so-called premium train? This is the reason why half my compartment was empty and still they foods were also being served late, e.g. breakfast on 3rd was served a12 noon, lunch at 4 pm and dinner at 11 pm and so on.

They paste the identity details provided by the passenger in front of the compartment. When PAN number is given as ID by a passenger, the information pasted on the compartment is copied by some fraudulent antisocial people. The PAN no. and other details of the passenger are used to purchase gold above 2lakh Rupees, where PAN no. is warranted. This will attract the attention of tax department towards a person, who has not purchased, and is being victimised.
