Same case with Maharashtra and CR/SCR. CR canceled a lot of intra state trains in the ZBTT.
Whenever there is a demand to run an intra state train from Mumbai to any town within Maharashtra, CR will give all the possible excuses from lack of Slots to platform availability in Mumbai etc etc but it will readily introduce specials and new trains to the north. CR either introduces some weekly intra state specials running on odd days with odd timings which will get low patronage or will simply extend existing trains.
Very few...
more... specials are run within MH during festivals/vacation. Few specials run towards KR and a weekly service generally to Nagpur but none to Marathwada/Kolhapur/Solapur/ Khandesh or rest of Vidarbha. Even specials to KR now originate from Panvel which is very inconvenient to passengers from Mumbai City and Suburbs. But you will see specials running to towns outside MH originating right from Dadar/LTT or in some cases even CSMT.
please wait...Translate to HindiMaharashtra aur CR /SCR ke saath bhi wahi haal hai. CR ne ZBTT mein bahut se intra-state trains band kar diye hain. Jab bhi Mumbai se kisi town tak kisi bhi intra-state train ko chalane ki demand hoti hai to CR sabhi sambhavnaatmak bahane deta hai jaise ki slots ki kami, platform ki uplabdhataa, Mumbai mein, aadi, lekin vah aasani se uttar ki or nayi trains ko chalu kar deta hai. CR ya to kuch savdhani purvak haftavaarik intra-state specials chalu kar deta hai jinaki odd timings hoti hai aur jinka patronage kam hota hai ya phir bas pravaasi trains ko extend kar deta hai. Maharashtra ke andar kuch kam special tyaohaar aur chhuttiyon ke samay chalti hain. Kuch special KR ke taraf ya Nagpur ki taraf chalti hain lekin Marathwada/Kolhapur/Solapur/Khandesh ya Vidarbha ke baaki kshetron tak koi special train nahi chalti hai. KR ke liye bhi kuch vishesh train ab Panvel se shuru hoti hain jisase Mumbai City aur Suburbs ke yatraago ke liye bahut hi anukool nahi hai. Lekin aap bahar ke towns tak ke specials ko Dadar/LTT se shuru ho rahe dekhege ya kabhi kabhi CSMT se bhi shuru hoti hai.
