Pls extend it to kumta/Angola bro. nice proposal i am 100% supporting these.

Is it feasible to start pitlines somewhere in ratnagiri, swantwadi road, thivim surathkal, udupi, angola or karwar so that KR can manage some rakes and gives connectivity to inter KA inter MH TN MH kind of connections? I dono abt those areas. can u throw some analysis on these ?

---

yes yes. Karwar i saw in images. I dono abt geography of those areas and land availability so only asking. what are the possible steps KR can take. where all it is possible.

---

When things are in scarcity why they abandoning it. they could have started Ratnagiri Nagpur, Ratnagiri chennai easily .

---

I agree KR is neglected and Karwar division is highly neglected. but What are the possibility to improve that should be discussed. I know udupi surathkal kumta angola and karwar are good towns, Gokarna, Murdeshway, byndoor has tourism potential. Udupi Krishnar temple is very famous. So is it possible to develop any of these with some pit lines and improve connectivity.

---

it is not going to happen in near future. It is like saying when POY moves into SA or MDU division then it will get pit lines. I dont see any signs that it is moving. Even SA or MDU got POY there is no gurentee pit lines will come immediately. Even after SA division formed. We yet to see significant infrastructure improvement in CBE TUP ED SA KRR. Not even single pit line added in last decade. then how merging alone will solve things.

15 coach is very much enough to run MEMU/DEMU. Ratnagiri CSMT MEMU, Ratnagiri PUNE MEMU, Ratnagiri Karwar MEMU can be tried I feel. 15 coach antodaya for nagpur or gondia atleast give connectivity from this side to that side. one pit can handle 3 slot. so RSA wise it can be managable i hope

---

it depends on timing and infra. if MEMU with toilets are given. 5 hrs is manageable so Ratnagiri to karwar, Ranagiri to mumbai outer may be panvel it can be done. I am not against any long ICE for ratnagiri though.

---

chandrapur , Nanded, Nizamabad, Solapur side no requirement there ah?

---

It is very irony to map rails vs roots when Railways saves a tonne for environment compared to road. Rails have more capacity/m compare to road. Though constructing Bangalore suburban requires some tree fell, In long run it saves many. Why no one debating about pollution caused by NICE road, Bangalore Chennai Expressway project, Bangalore mysore expressway project which moves less than 10% of what a normal suburban and heavy rail moves.. If 2 lanes in middle of bangalore mysore expressway taken away even light railway constructed in that space it would move same amount of persons/hour/m than what currently the expressway moving in 2 lanes.

---

Those who affected by the metro and suburban will oppose it using various reasons, Irony is those who oppose it are very minority with strong lobby than majority people who benefit out of it. Cities like Oslo, Helsinki which have comparable population of 2 tier cities in India like Trichy, Tirupathy, Belagavi has more metro, tram and sub urban than what our metros have. Government should understand it and promote sustainable public transport using good means.

Good idea. some untime trainsku ippadi rsa panna nallave irukkum.

---

NCJ would be ideal than TVC. lot of ppl in Kanyakumari district need bangalore train. island is not sufficient.

---

Who will take responsibility on elephant corridor between madukarai and walayar?

---

Totally agreed on LTT CBE speed up. all 3 zones never considers this. There should be good priority run for this train.

---

I am referring SCR too

---

PGT got TCN and Amirta which has more capacity than CBE MDU express for CBE. Pollachi, madathukulam, Udumalaipettai, palani, oddanchatram sees high volume of busses to coimbatore but proper passenger connections are not made is huge irony.
