This is a problem with bad manufacturing standards by ICF. Off late, there are increasing problems with the quality of their manufacturing, with increasing spring breakages and other issues. A serious audit needs to be done to start solving this problem.

Re# 4589999-8              
Unfortunately, this is not a maintenance issue. It is a manufacturing issue that is causing frequent failures.
SWR is among one of the zones that does a good job with coach and rake maintenance. Their complaints need to be taken seriously.
With increasing conversion of ICF rakes to LHB, ICF seems to be cutting corners to deliver coaches faster.

Yes ....agree on this . Focus seems to be to achieve more output in lesser time with the result that quality takes a beating. Below is the link of the article which had come in December regarding record coach production in ICF.
"It was reported that the ICF has registered a record by manufacturing as many as 2,222 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches in just a duration of eight months and 11 days in the current financial year.

Re# 4579971-7              
Instead of all interstate trains with destination as Bangalore outskirts, railways should try to send all long distance trains with stopover at SBC or YPR. For example, Tirunelveli/ Puducherry Chalukya Via YPR MAS UBL, MAS VSG, Vasco Velankanni, KCVL UBL, should go via YPR bypass. LTT CBE should go via KJM, TPT instead of via Hosur.
In these slots, there should be trains from SBC or YPR to Mumbai, Bijapur, Bidar, Karwar, KCVL, Mayiladuthurai, Puducherry, Trichy, Tirunelveli. Few train by SR and few others by SWR.

If 4 days a week CST NCJ and weekly CST TVC are provided stops at DBP and YNK, it will be beneficial. LTT CBE crawls between DMM and SBC, so providing stop at YNK and DBP will not increase any travel time.
