With reservation available after 15-17 days in daily SF and Kamayani, do you think that this duronto will get sufficient passengers to fill 22 coaches (9 being AC)?
although I won't flag red but I suggest that you instead convert it into an SF with very limited halts (a halt per 200-300 kms maybe) and replace AC coaches with sleepers or UR

I Understand Your Concern But Currently The Lean/Off Season Is On, So The Availability Chances Increase. Even Then The Trains Secure Waiting Lists Which Are Running Daily.
I Have Made This Train Bi-Weekly Which I Do Think Will Find Many Takers Plus It Offers Sleeper Accomodation Too & You Know The Rush For Sleeper Classes!!
Regarding AC Classes, The Demand Has Gone Up For This Route.
If...

You See The Daily Trains, IR Has Decided To Augument AC Classes On Two Trains On This Route.
12167/12168: Until Last Year, It Had 2 AC-3 Tier Coaches Which Was Then Augumented By 1 AC-3 Tier & 1 AC-2 Tier Containing 3 AC-3 Tier & 1 AC-2 Tier Now It'll Contain 4 AC-3 Tier, 1 AC-2 Tier & 1 AC 1st Cum AC-2 Tier.
12165/12166: Earlier It Consisted Of 1 AC-3 Tier & 1 AC-2 Tier But Now Will Contain 3 AC-3 Tier & 1 AC-2 Tier Coaches.
You Can Find The Revised Coach Composition Here. :) Or Entry#1513277
click here
Being A Duronto, It'll Enjoy High Priority & Provide Faster Connectivity Which I Think Will Be Preferred By Many. :)
In The Peak Season, It'll Run Packed As You Know The Situation Then & Will Be Preferred Over The Specials That Are Run During That Time. :)

As you expect rush towards this majorly during the peak seasons, shouldn't this be introduced as a 'special' then
Moreover, sleepers are much in demand is evident from the pics attached (yea I know that some trains have got AC coach augmentations)

It's A Bi-Weekly Train, So I Am Expecting That The Train Will Run On Full/Optimum Capacity As The Daily Trains In The Off Season.
Well, If Introduced As A Special I Think Prioritywise, It Might Take A Beating & 'Specials' Sometimes Make You Cry Too. :)

Re# 1529007-5               Past Edits
yea, but getting poor patronage on regular days outweighs good one in the peak season (the bi-weekly ALD duronto is not performing too good as well)
rest is your choice, I haven't red flagged ;)
