How many rakes does a train require?

17-07-2019

If there are no complications because of 3-way rake-sharing and so on, it is easy to figure out the number of rakes that are needed for any particular train service. Assuming 1-2 hours a day to allow for late running, and perhaps 4-6 hours a day for cleaning and maintenance, a rake is used perhaps 16 hours a day for short distance trips, and 18 hours a day for long trips. From this, one can estimate the number of rakes given the total journey duration. Up to 8 hours : 1 rake (unless it is a night train) 8-17 hours : 2 rakes 17-26 hours : 3 rakes 26-36 hours : 4 rakes 36-46 hours : 5 rakes 46-56 hours : 6 rakes Source -
