I think the main problem lies with ticketing. Agent ticketing should be discouraged. This can be done by increasing the cost/tax for agents. Plus the advance ticketing should be done for 60 days. That's an optimum time to plan and book.
Third, the solar based coached could be implemented. Energy saving can be done on stations too.
On stations, the extra charge carried by vendors above MRP is also big issue. One solution can be online mobile complain system. One common number to complain.

I suggest in this proposal to privatize the Indian railways which comes with various benefits and challenges all mentioned in detail in the attached word document. In short privatization will lead to better train services of global standard, help to increase government earnings and GDP.

Other than introducing newly designed coaches with advance ammineties, dustbins must be provided in current coaches. And these dustbins must be cleaned during stoppage at major stations.

#IRLand Multi-storey stations with all the amenities, supermarket, eateries, bed and breakfast hotel/hostel and platforms at different levels. Berlin Hauptbahnhof is one of the best stations to be looked at to have an idea how a futuristic train stations should be like. A few more suggestions are in the attached pdf.
