Rajdhani, Shatabdi to no longer halt at Dholpur, Morena stations

Sunday, 20 March 2016 | PNS | Gwalior

Indian Railways will not stop Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi express at zero output stations. This issue was taken by the railway management to analyse it. The Dholpur and Morena Railway Stations are small stations and Railways is not getting enough number of passengers from there and thus resulting in major loss to the railway department.

Now railway department is preparing not to stop these super fast trains like Shatabdi Express and Rajdhani Express at small railway stations.

Shatabdi Express which starts from Delhi and reaches Habibganj will not stop at small stations as at such stations there are not enough passengers and also Railway department did not generate much revenue from these small stations.

Railway department is preparing the plan avoiding stoppage of the Shatabdi Express in these stations. Railway department has told to management to analyse the halts at small stations. It is informed that the stoppage of two minutes of electric train costs around `20,000.

Besides, the Railway department is also planning not to stop Rajdhani Express at Gwalior Railway station. This train runs from New Delhi to Bilaspur as there is not proper traffic from Gwalior Railway Station, the railway might take final decision in this regard.

Shatabdi Express will not stop as it is considered as zero output from Gwalior to Morena. It is expected that in April month small stations halt will be stopped and same instruction will be send to concern station managers respectively.

According to Vijay Kumar Chief Manager Publicity Allahabad has informed that the train which runs with the speed of 120 kms per hour and stops for two minutes at zero output stations incurs major loss of around `24,506 and the train which runs 100 kms per hour and stops for two minutes will give loss of `21,207. Shatabdi Express will not stop at Morena, Dholpur and lalitpur railway stations as they are considered as zero output railway stations. It may be possible that railway board will not stop Shatabdi Express on these zero output stations. At present Railway board has not declared any official statement regarding this.
