Ashram Vs./ Rajdhani

This is not any fiction story of trains and railways , here I write special story before of Railway budget to look up to the demands and problems of Guju people in Railways ...I believe that Gujarat is the state who get least benefit of expansion of railways after independence except North east states !

There are mainly 3 places where Gujju people do journey frequently : Mumbai,Jaipur and Delhi ! For mumbai it's easy to travel cause no other state come across in the way and just Railways start double deker trains so,it's became easy but for Jaipur and Delhi it's really tough one !

Ashram  Vs./ Rajdhanai :- Generally Gujju prefer these two trains for Delhi ! Both are superfast , both take nearly same time in journey, fare of Rajdhani is higher than Aasharam than also Gujju have to prefer Rajdhani express why ?

(राजधानी का किराया आसाराम की तुलना में अधिक है, फिर भी गुजराती लोगों को आश्रम ऊपर राजधानी पसंद करना padta है , WHY ? )

First check the facts :-

                                    Rajdhani                            Ashram

1. speed                         68kmph                                 57kmph

2.Time                        13hr 40 min                           16hr 20 min

3. fare  (3AC)                Rs.1275                                 Rs.925

4.Halts                           7                                               17


Here is the problem : Halts - there are 17 halts in Aasharam express and Aasharam depart about 4 pm from old delhi station...so it reach left delhi city up to 5.30pm and it's office time of Gurgaon and  Rewari.  , local people clime up  without tickets in Sleeper class reserved cotch only ( cause they don;'t dare to create problem for reach people) and TC also know this cause it's daily routine for him and if TC ask for tickets than thee people beat TC so Generally he never ask for Tickets to these local people !

This is the reality of Ashram , here is the benefits of Ashram over Rajdhani :-

1.  Gujju have many advantages in Aasharam like it's depart at old delhi and gujju generally stayed in civil lines (Gujarat samaj) which is near to old delhi tation and Rajdhani go to new delhi wich is far aways from civil lines

2.  Ashram depart in afternoon where Rajdhani in night so, women psychology generally prefer Afternoon travel

3.  There is no sleeper class in Rajdhani so, least fare is Rs.1275 there in Aaharam least fare is Rs.375 in Reserved sleeper class coach !

Than also Gujju "have" to prefer Rajdhani over Aasharm due to harnessing of local people of hariyana and Rajshan-hariyana border !

90% women who travel Ahmedabad-delhi choose Rajdhani over Ashram !

Now, in Reply You talk about : Railway police : If a person go and complain in Railway police than he have to seat there and have to miss train And no one like to do this , actually Railways police is generally support Local people ! so , it's also not work !

And I really don't know the reason behind the giving the halt to Gurgaon,rewari and khairthal , cause no one passenger come up or come down there except Local people ( who travel without tickets and illegal )

So, keeping the economic condition of railways in mind I Request to Mr.Pavan kumar bansal to reset the halts in The Ashram Express (Train Codes: 12915/12916) cause it'sdo  not affect 0.1% in the income of Railway and give huge comfort to all Gujju travelers OR start new Duranto with sleeper coach between Ahmedabad-Delhi !
