Re# 5799477-8              
Yes, and the train has even been renumbered to reflect MDU division, (16851-16751) however, the circular refers to the old number. Ananthapuri which was having RSA with Sethu is now in RSA with Uzhavan Exp.

Ideally, if the train were to be speeded up, only 2 rakes would be required.

Else,
...
more...
it can instead facilitate an RSA with RMM-TPTY Exp which can be made a daily decoupling it from CAPE-RMM Exp.

Wish they would put better use of the rake with the 16849/50 RMM-TPJ slot and run a new train all the way to SBC or beyond via TPJ. That would be a much sought-after train.

Few snippets taken during my trip to Palani before heading back home to Bangalore Cantt.... do have a look... (forgot to post them)

Extra info:- One train which was not recorded in the IRI database had come down to Palani which was the TJ - PLNI Special (06117 and 06118) which had come on April 5th and April 6th... got a chance to grab that pic and that train was being pulled by WAP-1 ED 22023.... interesting part was that it was using the rake of 06409/10/13/14/15/16 and 16843/44 trains.... and it
...
more...
didn't mention the TJ-PLNI Special TB....

Extra bonus point:- 16721 CBE-MDU Intercity Express was being pulled by offlink WAP-4 Bhusaval #22847..👍👍👍
