PAKISTAN RAILWAYS & RAILWAYS MINISTER

Recently I got an opportunity to travel by train in AC sleeper class. I traveled in 8 down Tez gam and found the journey very comfortable.During the entire journey train was before time on all the stops and reached destination in time.....Generally all standers of a good train service were maintained....I will be too miser if i do not appreciate the good efforts of our Rail ways MINISTER....In deed good job done by the Rail ways MINISTER.......Reason he is dedicated and do not have the interest to promote his road transport service.....

Running good passenger train in a good public service...also it increases the vote bank of the ruling party....dark side is that it is not much revenue paying..so per force cost of ticket is to be increased which is not liked by the people.On the other hand goods trains are less cost effective and are more revenue paying.... Interest of railways lies in running more efficient goods trains service than passenger trains....So goods trains can also help in reducing the cost of the traveling ticket....This goes in the interest of the Railways....

I suggest following to the railways minister for improvement in the railways service...

1...Buy min 100 locomotives......50 for passenger trains and 50 for goods trains..
2...Increase the number of trains both goods and passenger.Give priority to the goods trains and provide efficient goods transport service..
3... Passenger bogies require lot of repair work which should be under taken on priority. Specially the bath rooms of economy class.AC sleeper class bath room should also have shower facility for taking bath as it use to be in the past.
4...All goods train bogies ,C wagons,bkf and others should also be repaired.C wagons should be made water tight so that rain should not spoil the stuff in side the wagons.
5...Under gauge racks should not be allowed to use...it may cause accident.
6...Fire fighting equipment/sufficient first aid should also be made available in side the train.
7...Dining cars should be used for dining purpose only...AC for AC class and other for other class.Police and Railways staff should have proper place for rest other than passenger compartments and dining cars.
8...Inter net and mobile charging facility should be made available in each compartment .
9...On each technical stop(15/20 min) entire train should be sweeped,bathrooms washed with chemicals and over head tanks to be filled with fresh water. Electrical problems should also be looked after.
10...TXR staff,locomotive in reserve and other equipment required to be placed on suitable distances so that all emergencies are looked after without any delay round the clock...

We have very good Rail ways and infra structure but running short of locomotives,good conditioned wagons and efficient staff.With double railways line from Karachi to Lahore we can run fast trains on this section and can reduce the traveling time as well as the cost of railways ticket .

I hope railways minister will give some weight to my suggestions for improvement.Once again i appreciate the good efforts of railways minister for improving the static railways....
