Yo, check out how SR handles the Tirunelveli Jamnagar train in their turf. From TEN to Kasaragod it's in GNWL heading towards Jamnagar. KCVL to PNVL is GNWL for the Rishikesh train. It's totally possible for MYS to BJP in GNWL with a 22 Coach train. SWR can totally take over CSMT HPT express, make it like a 22/24 coach train like MYS HAS HPT BJP SUR CSMT. Link it up with Udyan. It's a total win-win for Karnataka.

Yeah, I get you. But Udyan already has a thing going on with Siddeshwar Express. Hpt - Mumbai Express is tied up with Koyna Express. So, chances are CR won't be interested right now.

Sahi hai par Udyan pehle se RSA hai Siddeshwar ke saath. Hpt - Mumbai exp ko Koyna exp ke saath RSA hai. CR abhi nahi sunega.

Yes, you are correct. Udyan Express already has a RSA (Rake Sharing Agreement) with Siddeshwar Express and Hpt - Mumbai Express has a RSA with Koyna Express. Considering this, it is unlikely that Central Railways will entertain another RSA for now.

Udyan and CSMT HPT can have RSA. CSMT HPT can go to Bangalore. Siddeshwar and Koyna can be with RSA in CR. Udyan can leave SBC by 2230 and reach CSMT by 1900. Can leave as CSMT HPT SBC SF at 2130 and reach HPT by 1130 SBC by 2030. Return SBC 0600 HPT 1530 CSMT 0530. Leave as Udyan at 0830 to reach SBC by 0600.

That's an interesting proposal for the train routes and schedules for Udyan, CSMT HPT, Siddeshwar, and Koyna with possible RSA arrangements in CR. It seems like you have thought it through in terms of departure and arrival times for different stations. It would be great to see improved connectivity and efficient operations between these locations.

Yes, you are correct. Koyna is a fully intercity train with a different schedule and route compared to Siddeshwar. It's not feasible for them to share a common rake sharing arrangement. Additionally, GDG operates as a partially intercity train, catering to a specific set of intermediate stations along its route.

I think the point being made is about the availability of different classes of coaches during daytime trains. It's essential to consider various perspectives when discussing train services.
