[Resolved] Indian Railways — Inadequate number of train halts at Thivim Railway station on Konkan Railway | |||
The Thivim Railway station in Bardez taluka of Goa has been an "A" category station on the Konkan Railway network for years. However, for some unknown reasons, there is just 1 night train to Mumbai with a scheduled halt at this station, that is the 10112 Konkan Kanya. On the entire Konkan Railway line, all "A" category stations have numerous halts. Besides, all night trains halt at "A" category stations. For instance, all night trains to Mumbai or for that matter almost all trains halt at the other "A"category stations like Udupi and Madgaon. However, for some illogical reasons, the Railway Board does not allocate halts at Thivim. The monsoon may been a slack season. However, post October, it is a normal trend to see long waiting lists for the 10112 Konkan Kanya at Thivim, being the only night train to Mumbai. Post October, it is a normal trend to see 500-600 passengers with reserved tickets entering compartments at this station. What kind of politics is this?? Why is a station earning handsome revenue left with just 1 night train. There are another 2 night trains to Mumbai, namely the 12134 MAJN-CSTM Sup Express and 12620 Matsyagandha Express. Now these 2 trains halt at all "A" category stations, except Thivim off course. Additionally, these trains halt at some lesser known "B" grade stations as well. If you check the list of train halts on the Konkan Railway, almost all "B" grade stations have more trains halting on their platforms than Thivim. I understand, on paper the Railway Board is supposed to allocate halts such that everyone benefits. Why is Thivim just left out here? It is a shame with such few halts at its platform, yet the station has a tag of "A". Politics is the biggest industry in the INdia and influences all aspects of life in India. The reason for few train halts at Thivim can be attributed to politics. It only means that our Goan politicians do not have any control over the railway activity in the state. I will not be surprised if within the next few weeks or months, the authorities downgrade Thivim to a "B" or "D" category station as this will ensure no one questions the very few halts at this station. To tell you a fact, I do not expect anything better in the weeks or months to come Was this information helpful? | |||

Indian Railway — deny halt for express trains
The Kuttippuram unit of the Train Passengers Association requesting a stop for Kannur-Yeswanthpur express for a long time and the railway authorities announced a stop for the train on 2007 July. But till date the stop is not implemented. Our inquires reveled that the private bus operates try to deny the allotted stop. Becausemore than 20 bus operating from bangalore to kuttippuram and neighboring places.If the train halts at Kuttipuram, it will benefit those in Malappuram and Thrissur. Passengers from Bangalore to Guruvayur and season ticket holders commuting to Kozhikode and Kannur side will benefit. Now the Kuttippuram Railway station upgrade to B class and all other stations standing this category had a stop for this train. Considering ticket revenue Kuttippuram is thethe leading station between Shornoor and Calicut.

Indian Railways — Halting train held on non-platform line
Dear sir(s),I am a regular commuter between Vejendla and Vijayawada stations. I use to travel by Trai No. 439 Tirupati - Guntur Passenger to reach Vejendla Railway Station. The train is scheduled to reach Vejendla at 02.36 a.m. It is scheduled to have a crossing with an non-halting express train at Vejendla Railway Station 5 days a week. Platform is located at mainline at this railway station. Looplines doesnot have platforms.
Onduty station master at Vejendla Railway station frequently takes the passenger on nonplatform (loop) lines to give line clear to Express train on main line. The area between loop lines is filled with grass and bushes, where movement of harmful insects and snakes is routine. In addition, there are no lighting arrangements provided. I am facing lot of inconvenience in nights to get down there and to reach mainline (High-level) platform by crossing railway track as there is no foot over bridge.
The issue was taken manytimes to the notice of Station Superindent. But, there is no response.
As the railways have to provide minumum amenities to the passengers at railway stations, and they fail to do so, I would like to fail a case in consumer forum againt the Station Superindent/Vejendla and Section Controller/Guntur for the inconvenience caused to me.
