900 kms of rail from Pune to Renigunta existing since 1870 is neither fully double track nor fully electrified !! Why this discrimination by Indian Railways when it comes to rail users of West and South India ? Hope this anomaly will be addressed once for all within this term of the current rail minister since there is no such hope from north and east indian rail ministers

#IRTrains Sir Please use vacant Railway land in Bitragunta - Nellore district AP for my earlier proposals of Railway Loco Shed - Hanger, and Loco pilot Training centre. It was a glorious Railway Loco shed during Steam Engine Era from British time. Please revive the Glory with modern Technology and do justice for backward Telugu un-employed youth in AP.

Reservation of train tickets should start only 1 month in advance not 4 month. It’s very difficult to plan a journey 4 month advance. One suggestion for releasing tickets, Railway can release 50% of train ticket at 30 days in advance. About 20% in 15 day advance and about 20 % in 8 days in advance rest will be tatkal tickets. Price of the ticket can be different in different days but it amount will be fixed not like dynamic fare.

1) Mr Suresh Prabhu do you know the main power of the congress party was bureaucryte. 2) So my question is to you what are you giving central gov employees in this railway budget. 3) You should give min.50% concession to every central goverment staff in the tickets because of this your income source will be increased. 4) You should sanctioned the old and stopped railway projects. for Ex: JALNA-KHAMGAON VIA SINDKHED-RAJA(SINDKHED-RAJA IS THE BIRTH PLACE OF "JIJAMATA")

#IRTrains Sir there is a need to establish Railway Hangers to provide Suvidha trains, or Jansadharan Trains on Demand during Festivals like Sankranthi,Pongal,Ugadi,Dasara,Dipawali other holidays in AP-TELANGANA-VIZAG region. Common people are paying Rs.2000 in Buses for Rs.450 ticket. Please establish Railway Hanger in Bhongir -Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Bitragunta-Nellore (to house 10 spare Trains ready). These can be used for general Tours in normal Days for Children's excursions,Tours etc

I appeal to Railway minister, for Safe running of Trains. Railways research institutes can invent Cool Cabins for Railway Engines (Sun Heat repelling white paints over the Engines), with the help of IITs or Mishradhatu nigam etcInvention of rail engine designs for Cool Atmosphere, Mini Coolers, washrooms etc for avoiding sun-stroke to Drivers also possible in present Technological era. Railways should establish Loco Pilot Training centre in Bitragunta Nellore District AP (HUGE RAILLAND )
