The Mr Rahul Mittal

Honourable Member of Parliament

Lok Sabha

New Delhi.

Sub:- Request to alter train timings.

Dear Sir,

As a resident of your constituency, I commend you for the good work you are doing for it. Being a travelling salesman, I am particularly appreciative of your efforts in getting a few additional trains to run through my town. While the new trains are a boon to those like me who travels often, I believe that the utility of the trains may be increased further, if their timings are slightly modified The modifications will enable easier and more convenient travel between the town and the northern parts of the state.

If the 09:45 passenger train to Cochin leaves half an hour earlier, it can ensure a more convenient connection to the ‘Day Express’ departing Cochin at 11:00. Even though the passenger train still serves as a connection to the ‘Day Express’, the time available for changing trains at Cochin is inadequate. Moreover, even a delay of ten minutes in the arrival of the passenger train at Cochin will make the connection to ‘Day Express’ impossible.

Another possible modification is the extension of the evening passenger train that reaches the local station at 16:30, to Cochi. Such an extension can serve as a connection to the ‘Night Express from Cochin going north

Since there is less traffic during the times these modifications have to be made, they are unlikely to cause any serious upset of existing schedules. Besides the possibility of trouble-free connections, the modifications will give the travelling public an additional opportunity daily, to travel northwards.

I believe that the suggestions I have made are practicable and hope that you will also find them so. If you do, please make the necessary arrangements to implement them.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
