many a times, we would love to invite each other for a specific discussion. sometimes, we pvt to the concerned, sometimes we dont in the hope of the other person may go through the post...but many a times, we miss some discussions where we would love to be a part of...as the category of "invited posts" is still under thought process and has some technical constrains, why not create a hash tag. we choose a hash tag with which people can refer us and we can look at all posts mentioning us with a single click !! plenty of unnecessary hashtags floating around, so why not create some sensible hashtags to refer members/admins...just like we have #moderator...we can also have #soumitra , #pkv , #bg and after all who can forget #Z ?

let us choose a hash tag with which we would like to be referred at iri...every morning we log in...click once at our hash tag to see if any one blessed/cursed us and then proceed to normal blogging? so what would be your hashtag?

I think track doubling needs to be done b/w LALKUAN(LKU) and Kathgodam (24km) only..... reasons:
1. LKU junction for TRAINS from DLI/MB and BE/LKO... both single tracks converge at Lalkuan Jn.
2. Between LKU and HDW(Haldwani) ... 16 km single line with NO INTERMEDIATE HALT to facilitiate trains passing/crossing... the terrain is bit slopy and MPH is max 20-25kmp (even for Shatabdi)...so it take 30 - 45 mins to cover the distance between the 2 stations.

During the time one train leaves LKU for HDW , for next 30-40mins trains from both ends are made to wait on HDW or LKU.... this is not good for long term as no. of trains from Kumaon KGM/HDW/LKU will increase in coming yrs.
4. Similar condition is between HDW and KGM ( 6km... single line... 10-15km MPH... taking 16-25min on either direction... while other trains lie idle)
5. Both HDW and KGM have 3 short platforms only( only for 18-19 coach trains) with no loop line/ yard etc facility.
Growing demands for trains to northern/western /south Indian from these station...from either MB- (GZB-NZM)/(SRE-JAT ) route or ... BE.- (MTJ)/(LKO) route........ traffic is going to increase especially between LKU and KGM.
Last month , regional MP's held a meeting with GM (NER)..... but not one of them raised this issue.... its very silly .... people think in such short term goals ? :(
dear RFs, give your insights on the suggestion.
