Thanks for sharing.. I was expecting slot change dep from NZM but definitely not by slowing it down and not just from one side but from both sides :(

---

Yeah good point. So they have adjusted time around KCG with Kongu. Such a pathetic TT planning..

---

Kongu has TT sharing with Samta from NZMat 7am , KsK has different dep slot 8.20am from NZM with 130kmph clearance in NCR and now apsk & Thiru at 5.20 am dep and arrvl clubbed with Kongu at KCG. Kongu is slower than KSK by 1hr 20 mins and now Apsk is even more slower than kongu adding that time, 3 hrs slower than KSK between NZM and KCG. Even if they give 5.20 could have made it reach KCG by 7 atleast.

---

According to TT. I think APSK will still arrive first at KCG and maybe it will go to pf 3 and then KSK will arrive on PF 2 and depart ahead of APSK as KSK has to arrive at KRNT ahead of APSK. But I still feel they shd speed up APSK atleast by an hour which is not impossible

Request you to add this as station tip as well, might be useful to many .

---

That's so kool. Now I can take this train and return back in MUGR KZJ as part of RF someday

---

When it used to be SF ,did it have different dep from sc right ? I can't recall

---

Maybe but they did make it exp to sf to exp in the past once.

---

To be honest I dono why to extend this train to BIDR. MTM BIDR runs empty between LPI and BIDR both ways. Now giving one more train to BIDR with almost same kinda timings early dep towards BIDR and night dep from BIDR. Maybe BIDR needs a daily pass or exp(unreserved) during day time but definitely not these extensions.. I think the whole idea is to accommodate the crowd of TSRTC and KSRTC between BIDR and HYB ( I used to wonder when I see buses are full but BIDR MTM empty - maybe timings not helping them )

---

Yes that's correct . They need to focus on better connections to karnataka and delhi/mumbai

---

Very bad to terminate at CDG. Only train that has connection to all toy trains both ways now- it has official connection with shivlak delux. There should not be any thought of terminating this train at CDG. And yes giving 130 and speeding it up both ways is absolutely welcome.

---

There is no change in sheshadri's TT both ways as per latest PR. Not sure if they will change it now !
