Ahmedabad Jn, known as Kalupur, is very dirty, crowded and lacks upkeep of facilities.
Outer Foyer near PF#1 is always occupied by paxs sleeping on floor, as they arrive hours before time from hinterland / villages.
Station Master (SM) should shift them to North corner of PF#1 and keep the main entrance foyer clean & vacant.
Food stalls are necessary. Add InterNet shop, Xeroxing/copying stall, Telecom shop. At the most, keep them away from central foyer/ tket windows.
VERY SHOCKING = Once a stall owner said that SM brings train only on those platforms which give free Chai-Nasta to SM/TCs !!!
One Sr.TC confirmed that. I visited SM office to complain, he ignored me. So I wrote though Guj Chamber of Commerce when SM replied me to meet him !! He refuted and I agreed .
Fact remains that Best of the trains like Guj Mail (pride of Guj for last 5 decades ) and Duranto Premium are sent to PF# 4 or 5.
In Good old days, Guj Mail was always on PF#1, the beloved train was numbered by WR as 1Dn / 2 Up.
REQUESTS TO STN MASTER =
1 = THE YARD ON SOUTH SIDE OF STN IS SO COMPLEX THAT TRAINS TAKE 15 MINUTES TO TRAVEL 2km FROM MANINAGAR TO AMDAVAD. S.M./ RLY SHOULD REDESIGN THE YARD
2 = AHMEDABAD STN, a 1000 Crore Real Estate, needs better management for better revenue.
Hey PRABHU, Do Something.
