I have a plan of extending this train to Bidar or RSA to Bidar intercity. It is very easy.
The new TT for this train will be as below:
Onward:
VSKP: 06:30 AM
SC: 06:50...
more... PM(Dep 07:00 PM)
BIDR: 10.30 PM
Overnight maintenance at Khanapur to make the full utilisation of pit lines during night time. Daytime maintenance should be allotted to our new waste or faltu train(because of non punctuality) 16571\2.
Return:
Bidar: 07:00 AM
SC: 10:30 AM(Dep: 10:40 PM)
VSKP: 11:00 PM
No need to change loco and efficient utilization of rakes and pit lines and de-congesting SC. I know this extension is going to raise tempers here in IRI but it is for proper utilization of rakes and providing a good 24 coacher to Bidar with out the need of Bidar asking for more bogies. Existing intercity rakes can be run between Latur and Hyderabad or Kazipet and Bidar with primary maintenance at Kazipet once the pitlines are completed in Kazipet. How is the idea? If extension is not feasible RSA can be given.
