Highlights of the new trains announced:
- 67 new express trains to be introduced
- 26 new passenger services

- Frequency of 24 trains to be extended

 Union Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi presented the Union Railway Budget in the parliament on 14 March 2012. Trivedi in his budget, proposed a number of new trains to be introduced over the next one year. The new trains which are proposed to be introduced include express trains, passenger trains, local trains and special trains.

The total amount to be spent to facilitate coal movement in the Railway Budget 2013-14 is 40,000 crore.
I think instead of wasting money we can use all these money to educate poor people and to donate money to create other people's life more comfortable and safe.
