Can u tell me the dormitory price of SBC and YPR

---

Haven't used the dormitory. Tagged some members for more information.

TT will clash at MAS end both the ways due to PF availability and other issues like shunting at MAS during peak hours and slot within SR. Moreover, I dont think regular commuters will accept this extension. There is no dedicated train for MAS after 12610. If extended, DD would be the only option available. But majority of the people rely on Brindavan only especially due to its timings.

It is possible to solve TT issues, if there is a will. Anyway, I give another option. MAS 0630 SBC 1215 MYS 1430. Then leave MYS by 1500 SBC 1715 Salem 2145 via HSRA. Next day leave SA by 0600 SBC 1030 MYS 1245. Leave MYS 1315 SBC 1545 MAS 2145.
Advantages include a daily daytime ICE connecting MYS SBC to Salem. Also name Brindavan gets justified only when it touches Mysore.

Not sure about dormitory but retiring room costs about 1200-1500

Train can be speeded up to arrive ADI at 4am instead of 5.30am. Timings are perfect from SBC upto GPB

---

SWR has other trains to handle too after this trains departure from SBC, so they will push this train to arrive UBL at 5.30 and further handover CR well ahead of time at 11.30. Best is Pune agrees to take this at 4.30 pm

---

100% agree. still too much slack between Satara and Pune, last week my friend travelled from SBC to ADI, rake was shunted at 10:40PM @SBC, and the train got delayed by 2 hrs next day, still arrived 10-15 mins before time at Pune

---

We have to whether CR is ready for slots change and adjustments many trains s are awaiting speedup SWR SCR and CR connecting pune

---

Pune has become bottleneck for speeding up of many trains for want of slots or revamping slots. Hopefully they take speed up in phase wise and change timings
