Agree Agree
In my opinion railways should make future train sets with this coach composition 6 general class coaches including luggage loading capacity , 6 sleeper coaches , 8 ac class coaches ( which can include third ac or second ac or first ac or can be a mixture of these coaches ) and ( either 1 ac coach or 2 ac coaches can be removed to add pantry car coach and extra luggage coach ) so 6+6+8 total 20 and 2 electric locos ( 1 at front side of whole trainset and 1 at back side of the whole trainset ) so 20 +2 total 22 coaches , so that instead of giving lhb rakes to some trains which runs on a longer path railways should directly convert those mail or express or superfast express trains into these trains sets and cost of making lhb coaches will also be reduced or...

saved due to directly conversion of mail or express train into train sets and rake reversal time of many trains will be reduced cost of doing rake reversal of a train will also be reduced ( due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) and speed of all trains can be increased (due to 2 engine 1 at back side of the trainset and 1 and front side of the train set ) . Please give your opinion on this but please don't give any argument related to politics so that i can save my post from getting archived.

Or either railways can apply this coach composition in in some upcoming amrit bharat express trains so that we can get see that whether this coach composition for train sets will become a successful idea or will become waste idea.

Nice Clicks by them, Dr. Karthik👍 Quality snaps,
Some pics captured during my uncle & aunt's travel from MAS - SBC by MAS - SBC Double Decker on 2 different occasions. It was their first travel in a DD train & they were in praise of its cleanliness & punctuality.

22625 had extremely pathetic maintenance just one year ago. But SR seems to have given special attention to it. It's comparatively very clean now.

I saw general travelers also taking pics of the double Dekker train when I travelled 15 days back in Vskp Vijaywada Uday as the coach design is unique from the regular Coaches.

Just checked DD and UDAY Combo with RSA.
MAS 0725 SBC 1310. SBC 1415 CBE 2100.
CBE 0540 SBC 1240. SBC 1430 MAS 2035.

If RSA is planned,

Uday leaving CBE can be delayed by 1 hour. Say CBE dep at 0645 SBC arrival at 1330 and go as DD to MAS. OR
2. DD can leave MAS by 0640 and arrive at SBC by 1230, and start at 1315 to CBE to reach by 2000.
Both options can make Uday popular.

Both DD and Uday have clone trains Brindavan and VB just ahead/ behind.
So, advance/ delay departure from MAS and CBE respectively, for convenience of public.
