12105/12106 Vidarbha Express and 12111/12112 Amravati (Amba) Express both are best trains on Central Railway. Occupancy on both trains are almost full so these trains should run with LHB coaches . It will increase the occupancy and speed.

I think Maharashtra Express should be a pride of a state like anyother statename trains (eg. Kerala Express, Karnataka Express, Gujarat Mail, Tamil Nadu Express, Telangana Express, etc.). Currently it is more like fast passenger in various sections as it has 60 halts in the journey of 1347 KM and takes almost 29 hours.
I think reformation is required as follows
i) Reduce the stoppages to 25 (with all major cities and towns enroute)
ii)
...

Increase the average speed (60 km/hr) and make it priority train. It may save at least 5 to 6 hours of whole journey.
iii) make it 24 coach train with pantry car and also increase the AC and sleeper coaches.
iv) LHB coaches.

Indian Railways should introduce daily Train between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (T) Mumbai and Nagpur. This train should be Intercity category day journey train. The train may name "Uprajdhani Express" with LHB coaches.
Railways can ply this train parallel to Gitanjali express from both side as there is huge rush on Gitanjali between these two cities. Even Nashik, Jalgaon, Shegaon, Badnera, Wardha are some of the stations where people are using this train daily. One of the survey says Gitanjali exp is one of the most profit making train and having most ticket bookings. Route between Mumbai and Nagpur contributing major portion, so if new train starts will increase the revenue of Central railway and reduce the burden on Gitanjali

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
