OK. What about PDY Chalukya? Delayed start can not be the solution for this, since it will pass through VM-KPD stretch (which are the intended connectivity towns for this extension) will be at ghost hours and will be opposed by pax at in these stations. Can you suggest something different for this also?
My suggestion would be to start PDY Chalukya by 1130 or 1200 and reach YPR by night 2000 and proceed further. From YPR upto MRJ, it can follow 2040 slot (earlier used for MRJ spl) and reach DR by evening 1900.
This...
more... discussion is for changing timings of BKN EXP. So, I would prefer it to start by 0730 without distrubing your favourite Chalukya.
