With the doubling and electrification complete upto GTL, it is high time the trains in this stretch are speeded up and the running time reduced.

India's longest train CAPE-DBRG Vivek Express crossing Palar river bridge near Katpadi with Javadhi hills as backdrop. That river has forever been dry yet they still call it a "river".

Re# 1583014-3              
You are right. Palar has been dry and I used to wonder why a bridge is required for this. But I remember in the 60s when most of you were not born, water had flown from bank to bank for about a week. Vellore residents had flocked to see the sight!

This train arrived at 0330 hrs today at MAS (~1 hr early). I was trying to track it from 0200 hrs onwards but IR didn't allow tracking beyond AJJ. If the train has so much slack, why not permanently alter its timing..

Re# 1587659-1              
Both 11027 and 11028 have very high slack. But speeding up will result in either reaching unearthly hours or starting very late. All the Trains in MAS-CSTM sector can be speeded up considerably. These Metro city connections for Railways is the worst in the Country. Having travelled in this Sector for 45 years regularly I know the progress made is worse than "snail's pace"

I think Coimbatore Rameswaram express and Coimbatore-Tuticorin/tirunelveli express should be routed through which can save time and load on CBE-ED sector. It will also help Palakkad people to travel to South in a faster way

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
