The Ministry of
Railways has decided to cancel three Shatabdi Expresses on Bareilly-New
Delhi, Bhatinda-New Delhi and Tata-Hawrah routes due to poor
patronization during the current financial year 2002-2003.
Introduction and
cancellation of trains including Shatabdi Expresses is an ongoing
process subject to pattern of traffic, operational feasibility
and availability of resources.
Added to this,
the Government is not maintaining train-wise profitability.
It is in this context that names of loss making Shatabdi Expresses
is not available.
