@srdomcogbbcr @drmmumbaicr So probably @GM_CRly should sit on a table with @drmmumbaicr @srdomcogbbcr and @drmpune and sort this issue. For just 192kms divisions are blaming each other and delaying 3hrs 25mins run time superfast train by 2hrs. Even Controllers are unaware what should be the priority.

Pathetic management and controlling by CR @drmmumbaicr
Yesterday 12128 rake arrived on PF at 18:10.Train dep after Indrayani at 18:43. Looped at TGN to be overtaken by PA-ERS SF exp. Took an hour to descend ghat. Trailed EMU from ulhasnagar to TNA on 4th line. Arr dest at 23:16

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@english_ritam Construction of Bhor ghat is completely unrelated to a particular train. Hundreds of trains ran between 1863 and 1930.

@RBZakaas @singhvarun Aqua line work on automated CBTC. Drivers are just monitoring from the cab. They probably can override the system only in case of rare emergency.

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@ShrinivasMahale @singhvarun Elevated metros also you can exit from front as train have slide opening on front side of cab. Elevated metros in Mumbai have stations more closer to each other than the metro 3. Only Metro 1 rake does not have front opening.

@HarishJadh14280 @MH04Thane LHB rake for Koyna is dispatched recently.

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@Explorer_Yash @arpan355 The whole LHB 2S design is flawed in terms of ergonomics, ventilation, windows, doors etc and they continued churning out coaches since last 8 years. Now it is nearly impossible to go back and do some standardization.

That rake making had many foreign consultants. Then after that our geniuses must have thought lets go the old way and put all direct lights.

@stig97 @RfYuvrajShinde @ThaneOfTracks Its not about size of the train compared to size of chain. The chain is just stopping the initial push required for the train to roll. Similarly in opposite way small sand particles give the initial grip when 1000t+ train is stalled at a gradient. Size has nothing to do here😄

@empakshaypatil @akshaywcam1 @rajtoday @Explorer_Yash Around late 2000s OHE facing camera was fitted on WCAM3 locomotive windscreen grill to monitor Pantograph. Something like that.

@arshiet @mumbaiheritage Beyond marine drive flyover towards south tetrapods are very old. Towards north they were laid after the 2004 tsunami.

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@rajtoday In Balasore accident when both trains were almost at triple digit speeds only few coaches which took direct hit got damaged and here an empty LHB coach getting crumpled while shunting😐

@Khurshedswami @zoru75 What has skills to do when train crew doesn't have to do anything and the systems do all the work?...I mentioned speed factor to explain the system is not manual. What it has to do with countries like korea or Japan.

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@Khurshedswami @zoru75 This is automated by the system and not manually controlled like suburban EMUs motomen. Sometimes error margin is manually rectified by metro driver. Metros enter platforms at good speed and it is impossible to stop at exact spot manually which only an automated system can do.

[Devraj Malekar @devrajmalekar]

@mumbaiheritage It is Western railway. The rake is Metro Cammell Laird of 1928-1930.

@akshaywcam1 @mumbaiheritage Charni road north. Existing up slow and down fast then up and down lines. Up fast and down slow added on either sides and realignment done.

@FrontalForce A place where the flag is bound to get dirty is anyhow a breach of flag protocol. There is no point of cleaning it. There are thousands of trains and locos where flag stays dirty.
