Design Changes in Trains/Stations - Addl Inputs

Below are your collective inputs on Design Changes needs in Trains/at Stations. Kindly review them and if you have any additional inputs, please share.

Design changes needed in Trains/Stations

1. Taps with sensors should be installed in trains to reduce water wastage
2. Leakage free flushes should be designed for train toilets
3. If possible, waterless urinals should be installed on stations and inside trains
4. Waiting rooms should be redesigned with clean washrooms
5. Taps on platforms should be redesigned so they do not leak which is currently very common
6. Redesign and reconfigure things so there are separate toilets for men and women
7. Exhaust fans should be installed in toilets
8. Redesign glass windows so they get properly shut
9. More charging points should be installed in Shatabdi and Rajdhani
10. The chain pulling system should be replaced with an emergency alarm system
11. All the lights should be replaced by LEDs to minimize the power consumption
12. The roof of the coach could be of fiberglass with opening hatches - for cool ventilation in hot summer
13. Double decker trains have a cramped leg room. Some seats should be removed so that the leg space could be improved
14. The upper birth should be made more passenger friendly
15. Height of the platforms and train entrance should be made equal
16. All platforms should have full length weather sheds
17. Platforms should be made wheel chair friendly
18. The entry doors at the compartments should be widened like in metro trains
19. Automatic door closing system should be installed. The train should move only after the doors have closed
20. To open bogie door one needs real physical strength and some skill. Make it smoother
21. Make bogie joints smoother so passengers experience less jerks when train stops or starts
22. Solar panels should be set on top of the coaches to extract energy for the utilization
23. Stations should have a temperature oriented design – warm in winters and cool in summers
24. Pantry inside the train should be redesigned to maintain hygiene and cleanliness
25. The windows of the general compartment should be better designed. Water enters though the windows during rains
26. Toilets should be made disabled friendly. They should have parallel bars to hold and spray washers
27. Seating facility on the platforms should be increased for passengers more

If possible the IR should standardise on the allowable decibel sound levels in coaches particularly AC coaches.Have observed due to incomplete closing of doors & poor sealing of vestibules cusses this. This may be studied & actions taken. more  
Railways must start PRE FABRICATED structure culture,as this will save time & have uniformity of structures in turn that will save money as it will be mass produced. This can be sub contracted if required. more  
Automatic doors like in metro trains must be provided in Indian Railways also and the next station to be displayed in the compartments. I have noticed that delicate material used in the toilets of the new double decker train from Lucknow to Anandvihar. More double deckers to be provided in all the sectors throughout India. The gap between Platform and the train to be less than 2 to 3" to avoid accidents. more
