#Railway Budget: To prevent destruction of railway property and prevent it from sabotage specially the window glass in the AC coaches, it's thickness should be increased or some screen should be put up outside the window which can be opened from inside. This will prevent breaking of glass windows of AC coaches in situations like riot or any other protest.

#IRInnovation: The practicability and benefits of changing the material with which train coaches are made should be explored. This is an area of research and the Indian Railways can take the help of researchers to prepare research reports with respect to this aspect. e.g. What will be the benefits if train coaches are made of carbon fiber instead of iron.

Sir, my suggestion is to that every train shall have a TRAIN WARDEN/ TRAIN OFFICER, who will be single person responsible (as a Captain of the ship), for the safety, security, cleanliness, etc., including supervising of the various staff, contractors, and every issue concerning the affairs of the train, which will ensure accountability and a single point of contact for all affairs whatsoever pertaining to the Train. His contact no should be linked to the Train Nos

#Railway Budget: On board entertainment facilities should be available in Shatabdi Trains. Screens should be installed on the head rest of the Chair Car Coaches with music, movies, news and entertainment channels available. This facility should be available in both chair cars and executive class coaches uniformly.

Railways should seriously look into increasing the Frequency of Trains between Tier 2 Cities like Chennai-Pune, Pune-Mangalore,Pune-Ahmedabad,Bangalore-Madgaon,Pune-Madgaon. All being major Tourist and Job Destinations have immense scope for Load and can improve revenues of Railways.

1. To enhance security installation of CCTV at Stations nd Bogies can b thought off. 2. Bed Roll quality with Blanket need to b replaced as in all cases used blankets are given to Passengers boarding in between. 3. Double Tracking of Konkan Railways on speedy mode. It has great prospect on revenues.

Following Points to be taken care of: 1. Awareness via Ads in Platforms to maintain cleanliness. On failure Penalty to be levied. 2. Major % of Trains don't have either dust bins/or storage capacity is very less which makes waste to fall out. 3. Availability of Water in wash Rooms. 4. Proper availability of electricity for Mob Charging.Most times either they don't work or have loose contact. 5. Cushioning of Seats can be enhanced. 6. Marginal increase of Ticket can b thought off.

Lot's of people travel from Gujarat to Uttar Pradesh (East Side Mostly) facing issue's of Railway ticket reservation due to very less number of trains available especially from Vadodara Junction. There are no direct trains from Vadodara to Uttar Pradesh (East i.e: Gorakhpur). Connecting train are facing massive crowd. It would be great if we could do something either by starting new trains/or increasing the number of connecting trains from Gujarat to Gorakhpur will cover most of the UP East part
