If I was Rail Minister

MY  RAIL BUDGET

UNNATI EXPRESS

Fully A/C premium trains with facilities comparable to Rajdhanis and speed comparable to Shatabdis. 

Its basic fare would be greater than a normal superfast express but lesser than a Rajdhani. Food costs and an Unnati charge (30/50/80) are levied separately. It has commercial stops only on high patronage basis. It would generally be a daily train.
