Yesterday this train was having 200+ berths vacant in 3AC class. And as usual delayed by +3 hrs. This train demand is decreasing due to delay, and day time scheduled run. Why no one is accountable, and not taking any action.

Can easily use the old slot of Tata-Allp. With Tata-ERS also becoming a day train and not touching Vizag it has become an issue for Tata passengers to connect to VSKP.

Will be useful. One of the biggest issues in increasing coaches for this train was the pf length. A high demand commuter train especially in North Kerala. The extension might help in increase of 2 coaches at least which will be useful to some extent

Re# 6074760-8              
A valid proposal, however one big constraint in having trains extended to these smaller stations would mean railways having to deploy extra staff in these stations just for the purpose of cleaning and maintenance only for 1 train. Similarly the electrical wing will keep highlighting loco utilisation as another point. New set of loco pilots will have to man the train in return direction so that will be Xtra cost. They will have to travel from bigger stations like MAQ to these stns and will have to be provided with some allowance. I do recollect one rail staff mentioning this that cost, utilisation of staff are all being looked at very closely by railways whenever such extensions are proposed. These are valid suggestions though

Great Disagree:Not feasible
This train should be made to run with LHB rake with RSA to Narayanadri SF express.

Train should leave TVC at 06:30 AM to arrive Lingampalli at 10:00 AM -- can leave as Narayanadri at evening at 17:00 PM to arrive at Tirupati around 05:00 AM and PM the whole day and the return train will leave TPTY around 18:00 PM to arrive Lingampalli at 06:00 AM to leave Lingampalli as Sabari express around 13:00 PM to arrive TVC at 16:30 PM with SC at TVC

Train and rake should be handled by SCR TPTY div.

Re# 6078223-31              
A year back there was a proposal for rake sharing of Nethravathi & Matsyagandha which meant that the Nethravathji towards Mumnbai would have had to leave TVC early. As a result of its preponement, there was also a proposal to make Sabari exp leave early as compared to its current time so that PF is available in TVC. There was also a talk about making
Sabari leave from KCVL instead of TVC. The dep time was almost the same time as what you have suggested here. But I guess none of them have materialized till date. Nethravathi rake sharing with Matsyagandha is on cards. Maybe once that happens cascading effect might probably see Sabari leave TVC slightly earlier

For Ernakulam Patna Express, one very rare case where they have 12 Sleeper and 2 general coaches. This is probably one such train which has retained a similar coach composition as that of ICF rake

Re# 6063993-3              
Earlier train only had one 2AC so they retained the same. With 12 sleeper coaches in LHB means at least 960 seats. But you are right ideally all trains should at least have minimum 4 gen coaches
