Railways motive behind running unreserved train
The purpose of the railway behind running unreserved trains is to bring passengers traveling long distances in reserved trains to the last station quickly. Currently, there are three to four general coaches in reserved trains. To travel in these, a reservation has to be done. Corona could travel with a ticket immediately before the transition.
Passengers upset due to excessive stoppage of long distance trains
A senior Railway Board official said that mail and express trains are reserved, but due to the general coaches in it, the local passengers also travel, for that the train has to be stopped at small stations. In this way, 90 percent passengers traveling 500 to 1000 kilometers in the said train are upset. They complain that they do not reach the last station early. The reason is that it takes five to seven minutes in addition to stoppage time to stop and run any train at a station.
