VIP/MP stoppages of superfast trains
First of all every stoppage at even the smallest station should never be less than 3 minutes. Any passenger with some luggage in hand, needs some few minutes to board a train after allowing those getting down. The time of 1 minute of any mail/express train must be extended to 3 minutes, without any loss of time now.
Stoppages of any trains should be decided by the demand of the passengers for that particular station. In case of VIPs MPs etc special request stops at some smaller stations may be allowed on specific days on which they themselves are willing to get down at such stations, or they are willing to board from such stations, on their confirmed bookings only. Such request stops should not be made perfunctory, and should not be allowed for the request for boarding/deboarding of their family members and/or other party workers etc. more

There are proposals to increase number of stoppages for many fast trains, on political pressures of course. The stoppages shall be alternated between various fast trains passing on the route and aim should be to maintain an average 75 Km travel in one hour including stoppages- 24 hours it shall cover 1800 Kms. other small stations shall be covered by short distance trains run in different small spreads. more

no stoppage of 1000 passengers for a common man called VIP just because people choose him to serve them. more

Remove the VIP privilege to stop at unscheduled places. It does not happen for the common people so why only to the VIP? After all how important of a business will a VIP do in a small station? more

I would like to add that stoppage time rationalisation is required. For example, where the stoppage time is 15 minutes, reduce by 3 mins, where the stoppage time is 10 mins reduce by 2 mins. Minimum stoppage time should be 3 mins. By doing this adjustment, the effective lost minutes can be minimised. I have noticed that at stations where stoppage time is 15mins or more, passengers after boarding , de-board again and talk to their friends and relatives on the platform. more
