Adding extra coaches to fully loaded trains isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. Each train has a maximum limit set by the length of platforms at stations, the capacity of the railway infrastructure, and safety regulations.
Adding coaches requires additional resources, including rolling stock and crew. Furthermore, the current schedule and maintenance plans are meticulously coordinated, making ad hoc changes challenging. Overloading trains can affect their performance, increase wear and tear, and compromise passenger safety.
Thus, Indian Railways prioritizes optimizing existing resources and planning better for future demands to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience for all.
