IR is trying to project itself as inspector & auditor for privately run trains even before its start of operation...
Any private operator will try to ensure that the train runs with full capacity.. In fact , during lean season they may REDUCE the fare of TEJAS & offer cheaper travel compare to SHT running on same route..
So it will actually be a better service at lower tariff on many days.. CNB SHT will have tough time getting travelers during lean season..
