Title - Trains travelling through Ratlam division are set get more general coaches and more RAC seats

Trains moving through Ratlam Division might soon get more unreserved coaches and increasedd number off RAC seats.

A proposal has been sent to Railway board by western railway to raise the number of unreserved coaches and number of RAC seats. Railway says that when number of available seats are compared to number passengers travel on trains passing through this division, it is very hard to fill the gap. The number of passengers are way high than to the number of seats available for accommodation. Passengers are even willing to just sit and travel provided there is space on offer.

Railway board wants every mail express, rajdhani, duronto or other premium trains that travel through this division must have more number of RAC seats and unreserved coaches where applicable.

Apart from the passenger perspective Railway also thinks that they can earn 1500 crore rupees with these adjustments.

As per the proposal railway wants that side lower seat must be allotted for RAC to accommodate two passengers and the number of RAC seats should be raised to 8 in AC three tier than compared to 4 an in AC Two tier to 6 compared to 3 as per the rule.

In mail express trains the total RAC seats should be raised to 80 than compared to 72.
