After much hue and cry the railways did give CBE-SBC a train which was a day train. (Uday express).....quite surprised that the division and passenger associations allowed it to start knowing fully well that overnight train would have been a much better option. i thought that SA division had better clout compared to divisions in Kerala !!
Having said that just a small query. Do you think there will be better patronage if this same train (Uday express) runs overnight or would people rather prefer a sleeper kind of train.
Also with...
more... regard to your mentioning on quota for CBE, I can see that trains like Island express, YPR-CAN all have CBE in General quota which is all the more better as compared to having PQ or RL quota.
