SMVT - यार मोटा विश्वसनीया मुजफ्फरखान्ना पहला सही है। उसी तरह SBC के बीच मावीरर सांगोली इराइयाण्णा बेंगलुरु तेरक्क मनगर पहला हो सकता है।

The reason why KTYM line didn't change is that it's too small to make a big difference. Even when VM CGL got more trains, travel time didn't really change. The main issues causing delays for KL trains are crowded platforms and infrastructure problems. On the other hand, VM, TPJ, MDU, and TEN have plenty of platforms to manage trains. TCR, ERN, QLN, and TVC can't compare to major Tamil Nadu stations in terms of platforms. Ananthapuri now arrives in Chennai at 6 am, so the gap between it and CAPE MS may grow in the future. If that happens, the issue of Island CAPE MS won't be a big deal. There are train services like Pandiyan Cholan Rockfort, Mannai Chendoor, MS SA MS CSMT mail that are managed well, this one might turn out well too. If MS CAPE is managed in NCJ, it could share services with other trains too. I think we could make the TBM NCJ Tri-weekly service daily with the MS CAPE agreement, and we could potentially have an additional TBM SCT SF/Silambu shared service with more carriages. It's tricky to find a slot for maintenance in Egmore, but if Tambaram takes on all these trains or if there's an agreement with Kamban or Mannai or MS SA or MS MAQ, it's technically possible to share maintenance tasks.

When they're expanding infra, adding new lines, and planning to hit places like Gangtok and Imphal, setting up new divisions and zones ain't impossible. Even NR is thinking about laying down tracks in Leh Ladakh. Shit is crucial to reorganize and set up bomb division and zone setup for proper handling. Can't rely on just a few switches in the HQ to run the show. South is also getting more train tracks, so ain't gonna cut it with just 1 or 2 zones. Loads of new tracks pending, like Madurai to Thoothukudi via Aruppukkottai, East coast lines like Karaikal to Peralam, and Mayilduthurai to Tharangambadi to Thirunallar. Arcot lines such as Tindivanam to Nagari, Kallakurichi to Ulundurpettai, and Kongu region waiting on Dharmapuri to Morappur, Tirupathur to Krishnagiri to Hosur. Kerala's in on it with Guruvayur to Thirunnavaya to skip SRR, and a Sabari line from Kottayam to Sabarimala. Karnataka and AP need their own separate discussion to dig into. Gotta seriously plan and shuffle things around based on future needs and ops.

You're talking like a big shot, similar to Vaigai Pallavan.

Good idea. If they run trains on time like this, it would be nice.
