Instead of keeping 3 hrs idle at BZA it can start from NS.

It can be done at NS also right. I'm not against BZA. My version is only optimum utilisation of rake.

TAT will get reduced and its 140 Kms one from BZA-NS it shall take atleast 90 mins one side atleast even if aggressive schedule is given... So the TAT now which there BZA of 3 Hrs will be gone, where is the scope of PF attention now.

On main line BZA RJY 150km is given 1hr 55 mins and it's taking 1hr 50mins on daily basis without stop. Then 140km with stops how it will given that speed and running time. Whatever PSR km is there in BZA RJY section even NSP have same PSR km. So can be given max 1hr 45 min. If upto BVRM JN it's ok that too they need to speedup upto BZA by 20 mins. Utilisation does not mean running the train with 20%-30% occupancy for 100+km then it will not recover operational and incremental maintenance costs. Already they are such VB running and wasting resources of IR.

05:30 is too early if there is no TRL or AJJ stoppage ! They need to start this train at 06:15 AM --- or no one can take this train cause first suburban train dont reach chennai till 05:50 AM. Or they need to start Suburb train early morning ASAP

Any ways in future there will be vskp - tpty VB tht goes via bza. So there is no importance in BZA-RU-MAS route. the best is to run on shorter route. If they are looking for better patronage, they can run via GNT or NGNT, which can add up only 30 km extra stretch. Also there are plans to extend bza - mas JSB to SC. So running VB via GNT is very great option and can get good revenue.

SR wants to make it available for people from chennai to travel to tirupathi. But not a good option as people from bza may not opt to go to chennai.
