This train needs to be speeded up...only way is to take away some stops I think....... :(...if more and more stops are augmented it would further slow down the train and the overtakes too..... :(

Providing more MEMU Trains and cancelling stopages at Eraniel,Kulithurai,Paravur,Sasthamkotta,Mavelikkara,Thrippunithara,Pudukad,Malur,Bangalore East....would do I think.....

16526 was speeded up........only reduction of stops can result in speed up........Aluva and Chalakuddy also no need...
if stops are added to this train.....now Jan Shatabdi overtakes this train at Puthukad...maybe in the near future we can see even the Kochuveli-Bangalore Express going to overtake this train :/
1 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
ok well Aluva can be retained and see the case of Malabar Express which stops at Munrothuruthu !!!!!!! omg !!!!!

An other problem is the number of stations between Trivandrum Central and Quilon JN..........
1 Public Posts - Tue Nov 12, 2013
well I think the best should be done is to terminate Island Express at Trivandrum and provide a Trivandrum-Nagarcoil Passenger connection train for Keralites beyond TVC.....NCJ and CAPE dont need this train anymore I think coz of the arrival of new NCJ-SBC Express which goes through the shorter route via Madurai,Namakkal.....
or timings can be arranged in a way that Trivandrum-Chennai Egmore Ananthapuri Express can act as a connection train for Island from Trivandrum Central...
1 Public Posts - Tue Nov 12, 2013
well thats not a problem at all coz CAPE-NCJ pass is just a rake movement for maintanence.....after Island is terminated at TVC...it can have its PM at TVC itself..... :)
Its coz of lack of cleaning facilities at Cape that the coaches are made to go to NCJ for cleanup..
1 Public Posts - Tue Nov 12, 2013
well if that train is a must..then let it have RSA with TVC-NCJ Passenger with a bit of re-scheduling in time...

Why it is said that in ghat sections MG Trains are more useful than BG ones.......well MG has less capacity and compared to BG Engines power is less for MG...But still I have never heard an MG Train never wanted banker or braker engines along a ghat section...maybe rarely...but when it is converted then before ghat entry.........bankers/brakers are added to provide additional security...could anyone explain ???
My wishlist for Rail Budget 2013-14
1.Ernakulam-Mysore Daily ONT SuperFast
2.De-linking Kannur/Karwar-Yesvantpur Express Trains into 2 separate trains
3.Mangalore-Hubli Daily ONT Express
4.Trivandrum-NewDelhi...

Yea....thanks...these are the basic...well it would better if any of the TVC-GHY Expresses is made daily too

1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
yes....Kochuveli-Velankanni Express is essential.......also wish for Kochuveli-Rameswaram Express and Kochuveli-Puducherry Express.......well but still desparately in need of Kochuveli-Velankanni Express
2 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
also wish to regularise Kochuveli-Dibrugarh Special with ONT coaches rather than General compartments.... :/
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
It would be 90 % sure that Nagore-Quilon Express erstwile MG Train would be retained as Karaikkal/Velankanni-Quilon Express....but Punalur-Sengottai GC Work would take a longer time......
or atleast making any one of the North-East Bound train a daily one
it would be great if any of the TVC-GHY Expresses are made to daily with change in time slot...
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Kochuveli-Amritsar/Dehradun SF Express can be made bi-weekly since Tue slot is available
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Think TVC-Shalimar Express frequency can be increased since no trains in its time slot
3 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Also I think of some demands to budget not relevent but still..........a new inter-city express between Trivandrum and Madurai via Punalur,Sengottai and commencement of Madurai-Punalur Passenger to Quilon ....... then after Palghat-Pollachi gets a BG line...extension of Amrita Express to Pollachi and de-linking of Nilambur Rajya Rani and making them separate....
if no rmm-tvc exp atleast a link express to tvc with cape-rmm express...
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Also demanding for extension of KCVL-SBC Express to TVC and New KCVL-LTT Bi-weekly Express to TVC
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Yea RMM-TVC Express via NCJ is the shortest route...if not daily a weekly/bi-weekly which can share slot with Cape-Rmm or a link express to TVC to CAPE-RMM Express...
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
See SBC and YPR swap destination....that should be done in the case of TVC and KCVL with respect to patronage
2 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013
Erstwhile Manamadurai-Quilon Passenger would also be retained...hoping for that
1 Public Posts - Fri Nov 08, 2013

Wish SR would extend Chennai Mail and Express to TVC as during olden times they used to start from TVC and later got truncated to QLN due to gauge conversion......also dont want the present mail to get re-routed............
After Punalur-Sengottai GC Work.....better Madurai-Punalur Passenger to be Madurai-Quilon Passenger coz of long route....or will this train be re-routed considering its patronage ?????? After GC will this train get good patronage?????
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Quilon-Coimbatore Train can be Quilon-Mettupalayam Express during its BG Version...
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Punalur-Sengottai GC work completion is really an important task and it needs to be done fast........a 49 km connection line which would increase connectivity with TN and South Kerala...
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
yea with its name also as Mail and it should TRIVANDRUM-CHENNAI MAIL via Sengottai.......with its competing partner TRIVANDRUM-CHENNAI MAIL via Palghat hehe....but this time TRIVANDRUM-CHENNAI MAIL may win the race coz of shorter route :)
All the MG Trains from Quilon may be retained as I think :
1.Quilon-Sengottai Passenger
2.Quilon-Tirunelveli Nellai Link can be a new Trivandrum-Tirunelveli Day Express
3.Quilon-Tirunelveli Passengers (as Quilon-Tuticorin Passenger during BG)
4.Quilon-Tenkasi Passenger...

Try to retain our own trains and please dont cry for extension of Ernakulam-Karaikkal Express and Pothigai Express etc since they are well patronaged...
2 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
hehe yea true :) instead of mangala extension.........SR could provide a new Rajdhani to Nizamuddin like the same done in Bangalore and thus making RajDhani a daily train and converting the newly introduced TVC-NZM via Itarsi train to Tri-Weekly with change in timings :)
nop better let that remain as Guruvayur-Punalur Train would be further extended to Madurai and then to Rameswaram :) ......also think shorter route via PGT from GUV....
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Well not to blame...Karnataka has a daily Rajdhani train with NR Rake and SWR Rake...so SR should take initiative and provide an SR rake for making Rajdhani a daily service ........ TVC-NZM Express can be made tri-weekly and can be made to run in the old TVC-NDLS AC Special time slot ie) 12pm dep frm TVC...
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Guruvayur-Punalur Fast Passenger has become a higly patronaged service and I think proposal for adding Sleeper Coaches.......after GC it would most probably a Guruvayur-Rameswaram Express and would be a super-hit train in South India :)
if TVC-NZM (via Itarsi) converted to Tri-Weekly and slot changed to 12pm.......then Swarna Jayanti and Millenium Expresses can be easily made into Bi-Weekly with RSA
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Yea Guruvayur,Sabarimala,Rameswaram and Madurai Meenakshi Temple also :)
Also by extensions I meant if the train is that much useful then it can be avoided...Mangala can be extended since its almost idle for 2 days......Pothigai and Karaikal-Ernakulam are heavily patronaged train and also has RSA.........Trains having bad patronage could be extended like Trichy-Tirunelveli Inter-City Express can be extended to NCJ/TVC since it has not that good patronage....
While Pothigai Express not fair coz only train from Sengottai to Chennai.....the same goes to Ers-sbc inter-city also coz lot of CBE People need that train and it has heavy patronage...it wud be quite hard if it got extended to TVC considering ERS and CBE Passengers...
Considering this a new TVC-SBC Daily Train can be run with the old timings of Island Express ie) TVC Departure : - 9:30AM
Also see Bangalore has a DAILY SK tooo one via Hubli and another via Kacheguda.....likewise......Kochuveli-Chandigarh SK Express should be made daily as 3 days a week (via ALLP) and 4 days a week (via KTYM) .................Also TVC and KCVL trains can swap there destinations owing their patronage.......
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Yea but its 99 % sure GUV-PUU FP Would surely be extended to MDU atleast according to reports :)
TVC-GHY Expresses can be KCVL-GHY Expresses......TVC-Shalimar can also be KCVL-Shalimar Express and instead of that KCVL-SBC Express can be TVC-SBC Express with changes in Timings of CAPE-Dibrugarh Vivek Express...
Could anybody please post down the old MG Trains which ran in Palghat-Pollachi-Coimbatore-Podanur-Palani sections...
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
What is the latest updates of Punalur-Sengottai and Palghat-Pollachi Sections??????Could anybody mention please
3 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
As of one concern on Punalur-Sengottai is that since it is a ghat section which has speed restrictions and also a single line....and yet another thing is that railways would operate goods trains from Tuticorin Port to other parts since it is an easy way....so would it have the same fate of Mangalore-Hassan RailLine ??? :(
2 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
what about Works on Sengottai-Bhagavathipuram..................Reports say Punalur-Edamon would finish after 5 months.....
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
Think almost Tunnel widening and Jacketing of some bridges are completed........Aryankavu station would be shifted...it would be further west than the old station......Punalur-Edamon would be completed...hopefully think so atleast by next March...
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
I have a strong hope that during next budget maybe there would be a Kochuveli-Rameswaram Link Express to CAPE-RMM Express and a Kochuveli-Velankanni and Kochuveli-Puducherry Weeklies which shares same time slot....

Sorry it was AM not PM...Corrected now....and the QLN-Punalur Passenger train @ 6:30am can be rescheduled to run at a different time maybe......
Sorry for my wrong imagination I think...........opinions ????? well :(
1 Public Posts - Sat Nov 09, 2013
yea I dont know the speed variation that would occur in the Quilon-Sengottai Section.......
It`s almost timings of passenger train between Quilon-Sengottai Stretch so thats not that correct...surely the train is slowed -_-

Another one I didnt mention is Mettupalayam-Dindigul Fast Passenger
Well its an idea I have got.........Kerala that arrives TVC around 2:30pm is almost resting for 2 days....so take an example....New Delhi-Trivandrum Kerala Exp arrives TVC @ 2:30PM.....then after maintanence the next day the same rake can be used for a new TVC-CBE Day Express which starts from TVC at the morning and comes back to TVC in the evening.......then next day that rake can go as Kerala Express and this cycle can be continued and we can get a new TVC-CBE Daily Day Express..........
4 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
If we ask for new trains ..it wont be implemented fast as they keep on saying non-availability of coaches...but desparately we need a sacrifice here..
1 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
Or another way is extension of Mangala Express to Trivandrum Central and making Kerala and Mangala Express under RSA....I think by this way a CBE day train or a CBE ONT can be made....hope so...possible ???
well the great Karnataka Express is having RSA with Bangalore-Chennai Mail I suppose...
I think with one more rake Amrita Express can be a new Palghat Town-Bangalore Inter-City Express..... possible ?
2 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
I think can be done with 3 rakes....Amrita arrives PGT at morning...then it can start as PGT-SBC inter-city express......from Bangalore also the return train starts to PGT.......Amrita reaches SBC and can have secondary maintenece there.....while the new rake reaches PGT by evening and can return to TVC as Amrita Express.....then it can have PM at TVC....so with 3 rakes......2 trains....how is it ?
1 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
I dont think so...coz all SBC bound trains have high demands....especially CBE also requires day time connectivity with SBC since there CBE-SBC Inter-City was extended to ERS.....so with respect to that this train can become helpful for both PGT and CBE passengers towards SBC....
2 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
Well I just meant this train will be helpful for CBE and PGT passengers....if this train is implemented then hope SBC-ERS can be extended to TVC as CBE & PGT gets back their much needed day time connectivity with SBC...
7 Public Posts - Mon Nov 11, 2013
well I think much will not be done in the case of Kerala and Mangala Express....since the rakes need time for maintanence and are really long distance trains which travel most times........Amrita Express also no way since I think it would be extended to Pollachi after GC or that`s the talk being heard......
