However, since the time she said that this time railways will have a 'humane' face to it, the people are expecting big fare revisions, waive off superfast charges . She is also expected to make changes in the Tatkal scheme to make it more passenger friendly.

Apart from this there are specualtions if there will be a shift from Bihar to Bengal on the agenda. All the questions can only be answered when the Railway Minister tables her budget on Friday, Jul 3.
