I happened to read a news article in Mint Newspaper which was lying on the floor inside Bangalore airport last night. While I have several other posts lined up I felt this news deserves some attention.Indian Railways has decided to increase the capacity of its train by around 12% by introducing an additional berth in the coaches. It is difficult to describe in words how they are planning to implement the same. Refer the image below for current seating layout and new layout. (S=Seat, B= Berth)In other words, a third berth will be introduced in between existing 2 berths on the side seats. This extra passenger will be sharing seats with either of the three passengers as shown in the diagram. Reportedly this idea of increasing the capacity has been accepted to generate more revenue by carrying more passengers in same number of trains, so that the need to increase ticket fare will be eliminated.This move is guaranteed to cause more and more inconvenience to the passengers who will have to s
BEIJING: Chinese troops travelled on the high-speed Qinghai-Tibet railway from mainland China to Lasha for the first time since the world's highest railway line was inaugurated 17 months back.The move comes immediately after Chinese troops were reported to have demolished Indian Army posts on its border with Arunachal Pradesh.
According to the 11th Five-Year Plan, China’s railway industry will enter a dramatically developing period. Railway network construction, located upstream of the railway industry, will get the business opportunities first, including rail-track laying, engineering & machine, bridge bearings.
Similarly, the railway equipment manufacturing industry will boom in a manner commensurate with being located midstream of the [...]
Transportation Minister Jusman Syafii Djamal said the development of a 27-km-long airport railway in Jakarta will start in March 2008.

"The threat of flooding induced by high tide as happened last week and caused traffic congestion on the road to the airport, will no longer recur if we have an airport railway. Besides, its carrying capacity will be much bigger than buses," the minister said.Meanwhile, the elevated railway project will be operated by PT Railink, a subsidiary of state railway company PT KA, with a share ownership of 60 percent by PT KA and the rest by PT Angkasa Pura II airport management company, President Director of PT KA Ronny Wahyudi said.

However, they're still talking, according to Andy Skidmore of Network Rail. They're talking to Cheshire County Council, Crewe and Nantwich councillors, key organisations and contractors (Sentinel article here). The lot. I'm not suggesting that Network Rail are buying time, but it looks as though no firm decisions will be made regarding Crewe station's future until at least 2010. When you consider that the Crewe Rail Gateway plans were on the table at he start of 2007 that's a massive blow for those hoping to see the old rail interchange revamped along with the town's beautiful park and dilapidated town centre. As it stands, only the park is WIP. Just! That's disappointing and frustrating...
