More emphasis should be given to electric trains both for passenger & freight movements. Diesel engines is clearly not a sustainable development solution & should be phased out slowly. Generator cars in all air conditioned trains must be replaced by suitable converters which use overhead electricity for powering train lights & ACs. This would be feasible only if higher HP engines are made for which technology is there but used very less. Although a bit costly, but sustainable. #IRElectrical

Student and staff pass should be introduced through smart way with chip oriented to control on the user as well checking possibilities. All the card readers should be provided to TTE's as well station masters to validate the holders travel and usage. The same should be authenticated through AADHAR Card as well Bio metric system. Request ministry to move ahead in those lines.

sir, as a regular traveler of Indian Railway i would like to recommend some steps; 1; Booking counters at every station should must be monitored strictly with GRP/RPF atleast at the time of tatkal to avoid trouble to normal people from brokers/agents. 2; Food Service/pantry should be available in trains people trouble to buy something from unknown vendor of a particular station. 3; more development/faclities should be provided to reomte railway station who has piligrime visitors /foreigner.

It would be great if Railway utilised it's station land in building hotel especially in major cities and generate employment along with additional revenue for Railway....Please improve the quality of food served on long route.....Also have a control over the cost of meals etc...

Ticketless entry to all railway platforms should be stopped. Just as security personnel check tickets before entry to airport, a similar kind of entry procedure should be there for entry onto platforms(not stations outside). Would help in controlling stray crowd who just come for seeing off. Also, porter service should be made free for senior citizens and female above 40. To facilitate easy movement, subways and escalators should be available at stations with more than 6 platforms #IRInnovation

I request the gov. to provide atleast 1 more train to bengaluru to madurai route. Right now only 2 trains are available. It is not sufficient it leads to private buses earn lot of money. May be if government invest a old train also it would be helpful for middle class people and profit will be their for government too. please consider this request. Thanks

#IRTourism Improve the reservation website by making it more informative and user friendly by including the features from www.sncf.com and http://www.deutschebahn.com/de/start.html sites. Add a secure online payment option for those who want to reserve a ticket from abroad. A few more suggestions are in the attached pdf.
