Island and CAPE-MS are recently running with 22 coaches after adding one 3AC economy class.
Have seen the Pearl City rake getting parked somewhere between Kodambakkam and Pallavaram from morning to evening. CAPE Exp is stabled mostly in MS itself.

What will SR try to achieve by delinking the rakes of PC and MS-CAPE? Pathetic to see the way the zone is functioning. They didnt even care to build a pitline at CAPE and decongest NCJ.

Return schedule would be a little hard to achieve realistically. It has 10 more halts than Swarna Jayanti (which departs at 14.15) between TVC and KPD which takes 15 hrs to reach KPD.
Scheduling Sabari 30-45 minutes ahead (ahead of Parasuram more importantly) might work, now that Venad Exp goes through ERN and there is no queuing behind. There is further scope for speeding up between CBE-KPD.

So with that, SR also taking over the train. I would still schedule it ahead of Parasuram or there has to be an overtake.

KR does not have stabling lines or watering facility to terminate the trains in these intermediate stations.
They will need to run upto MAO/VSG which is possible but it would consume slots which could be better used for new trains from MAQ beyond MAO.

The intermediate stations are mostly barebones without watering facility or even a 2nd PF in several cases. There is no agenda on doubling as well.
Problem is that KR will not bother spending on developing infrastructure from its own revenue. It maintains the illusion of a separate railway zone but has nowhere near the basic operational capacity. Trains face some of the worst delays no matter the season and all gets brushed aside under emergency line block.

One reason Kerala got most of the long-distance trains is because they used to have the capacity, a lot of trains came when the KCVL terminal came into use. Once they maxed out, additional trains are being taken to CBE and TEN. Interior Gujarat gets foisted with these trains at the other end because of lack of capacity in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad section from where most of the traffic is.
KR had one coaching terminal in MAO (RN maintains a couple of passenger trains) and that was occupied by trains from the North....

KRCL does not get Union government funds through the railway budget allocation. All its projects are financed from its own receipts or long-term borrowings.
Indian Railway Zones get funds both from Ministry of Railway (More than 90%) as well as in the form of Capital investments from IRFC (Less than 10%) but there's no external debt involved.

Should be rerouted via PTJ bypass again. 12601/02 would be more useful for CBE instead. 12683/84 even more so.
Kerala needs it own daily to HWH apart from Vivek. It's too much hassle to transit via MAS like in the past.
