The Coach Composition of this train is completely opposite of what is mentioned on IRI. Don't know if this is due to the RSA arrangement. When it arrives at Raichur after a reversal at Pakala Junction, the AC coaches are at the fag end.

It is a mess at Raichur where the indicators display the incorrect CC that the AC coaches are at the first. The senior citizens have to walk long distances just due to the poor work of Indian Railways. They just have one job to do and they fail

Nowdays this is the problem with Zones, As it was in case with BYPL-HSRA-OML sections where Toppur TSS is yet to energize after completing CRS on March 25th 2022. Trains like 12257,16527,16212 and 11021 are running with diesel locos.
Likewise for this train 16339 in DMM-PAK-KPD line.
However 17247 and 12731 this both trains run end to end with Eloco on this route.

No so sure, as far is know other 2 trains 12731 17247 run with Eloco and one passenger run with ALCO has to be TSS problem.

This train reaches KPR by 21:45 but due to PF unavailability enters SA by 22:50, possibly due to 17235 and 11022 occupying the KRR line to enter SA. SR seriously screwed its route and TT, super crawler now. Most times it arrives PAK,KPD,DG,MDU before time (Together in hours), I wish previous route is restored to this train as 16331 runs, too much slack time.

I wonder why they did not revert back that decision. 1st they changed route via ED then Via DMM - KPD due to Covid, now after Covid also decision not made properly.

I personally think , this train should run via Guntakal, Gooty, Renigunta, tirupathy, Pakala, Katpadi , Salem karur , Dindigul

and the other train balaji exp (via CJ) should run via Guntakal, Dharmavaram, kadiri, pakala, Tirupathy, Renigunta (Dual engine coupled), AJJ (Dual engine decoupled) , CGL, TPJ, DG ....

†hat case both the train runs via Tirupathy and the name Balaji express is fullfiled cause the train via Renigunta once used to go to tirupathy and return back to renigunta !

If it runs in above mentioned route, the purpose is fullfiled also the loco reversal is also avoided for 1 train , the other train will have back and forth engine at RU , so dual reversal = no reversal (cause no reverse coach composition)

This train was going via Krishnaraja Puram (KJM). Now, with the diversion via Madanapalle, Bangalore lost 4 days connection with Mumbai and Madurai/ Nagercoil.
Shorter route is PUNE GTL DMM KJM TPT SA NMKL KRR MDU TEN.
It's sibling via Renigunta can go via PUNE GTL RU TPTY KPD TNM VM TPJ MDU TEN.
No loco reversal anywhere.

If via Madanapalle is diverted via KJM, other sibling going to TVC once a week can also go via SA KPD TPTY RU GTL.
SCR can run a good train from Tirupati or Nellore to Mumbai via RU TPTY PAK Madanapalle DMM GTL. If needed, this can go via BAY GDG SUR route.
SR can run a Trichy Mumbai train via TJ MV VM CGL AJJ BYPASS, RU GTL WADI SUR.
With one train route catering whole of south India creates lot of issues.

This new route has also robbed it's WAP7 link till CSMT, I wonder why no zone has not yet provided Eloco to 16339/40 despite End to end electrification of entire route.
Can run via KJM in slot of 16331, also at SA bottlenecking due to arrival of 11022,17235 and 22652 in KRR - SA line, causes platform unavailability at that time.
