Sir, There is no fencing on platforms so that chances of falling on the track while train is moving or about to stop,or at all times it is open to track. A fencing with censor doors may help or avoid falling on the track when train is moving. When train arrives into the station, couches should stop where censor doors are available and people may get into train or get down only through censor doors This may be implemented as a trial basis in stations so that lives are secured to many extent.

#IRFinance: Fiscal prudence demands more income & judicious spending.Hike in passenger fare may be done this year. It will be difficult next year. Cost overrun may be avoided by timely completion of projects. Excess rly. land may be leased/ auctioned to augment revenue.10% of tickets may be termed Premium Tickets & they may be issued at higher price. If feasible, one AC & one sleeper coach may be added to each train to increase income. Start an anti-corruption drive especially at middle level.

#IRSafeRunning--Save passenger life by plugging gap between train and platform.We saw on TV, on 15th jan 2016, at Borivili station, one women while de-boarding from train, slipped into the one/two feet gap between train and platform and died. This is happening everywhere, passengers are dying everyday. Solutions are - (a) bridge the gap (like in city metro trains) or (b) design such rail coaches which will open/close only when train is stationery. Biggest test of railway efficiency is safety.

Sir, all the passenger trains should run on time on first priority. Passenger travelling have to reach their destination for the reason they are travelling. Reaching late becomes problem. Except in unavoidable circumstances all trains should run on time.this should be made compulsory to the drivers by penalising them.

Sir, The Train number 22623/22624 running between Chennai Egmore to Maduari(By-weekly)via main line may be run on daily instead of by weekly and additional coaches(6)in both direction.Similarly additional 6 coaches may be added in Uzhavan Express(16183/16184).One more new train may be added via main line from Chennai Egmore to Thenkasi daily. Gauge conversion work between Thiruvarur to Karaikudi may be speeded up.

#Infrastructure, My suggestion is mainly in city and town limits... from railway station to till the next nearest station or end of the town limit along the railway tracks both side railway has property.... which is mainly used by publics as a garbage yards!!!!..... This is to be controlled and along sides of the track railway can build Shops/commercial buildings and provide them for rent/lease... This can be achieve by PPP model.... to earn rental income plus safe guard the railway property.
