If the train's PM shifted to NR, What will be the new train number ?

Also the train should bypass ED , that would save lot of time.

Train coach composition changed: Having similar coach composition in today's departure like Kanyakumari and Island SF express only up to S7 so I assume all three trains (Island, CAPE SF, and Island exp has RSA) with one another?

Agree
I dont think it will go to CST. Its very recently short term to Pune and the standing time in Pune is around 1 hour and its leaving to its home statio CAPE from pune within that hour. Pushing to CST will make the railways do Secondary Maintanence at CST.

Sure TVC div - we can hope they will do it in next 10 years haha. Doubling KTYM line has never changed any trains TT. Infact TVC mail that used to arrive at 11:15 AM during single line time is now arriving at 11:45 after doubling. They gave lot of slack from Varkala to TVC

Re# 6053294-17              
See NCJ Maintenance for MS CAPE works - I always support common point maintenance. That would be better clean than end point maintenance for RSA. Hopefully this turns good cause 5 years before MS CAPE used to run horribly cause of Island. Now doubling has been done let's see how it going to work

When I say common point maintenance it's where both commonly meet. For e.g.: Cheran and TVC mail should have maintenance at MAS instead of CBE. In that case its maintained daily and runs clean and on time than

TVC mail getting maintained only when it goes to CBE on 4th or 5 th day.

ASR CST exp and MAS CST express maintenance is at CST and that's better cause its common point.

Great Great
Grand Trunk Express is truly the lifeline of Many Small towns lying on GT Route.
It provides a fast connection to the national capital Delhi and Chennai to many small stations lying on that route
No doubt it is somewhat slower than Prestigious Tamil Nadu Express but GT Is no less than TN Despite having more halts It is just 2hrs slower than TN Express betwee Chennai and New Delhi with 24 more halts.

GT express to TN express is like comparing and saying Charminar is better than HYD MAS SF express. Deep down we all know, GT is awesome and so is HYD MAS SF express. Some trains gets their prestigious status by name

GT is older than TN and is equally faster with stop (recently speeded up too)

Moderator or admin, could you please change the RSA of the train to Cape sf express and maybe with Pearl City too ? Thank you Please change the coach composition too. Its now running with only 7 SL, 6 3AC, 2 2AC and 1 HA1 and 3 UR.

Something strange: Even Pearl City Rake composition changed from Today's departure so I think all three trains Island, Cape and Tuticorin has RSA ?

Someone could confirm ? Thank you
