Island and CAPE-MS are recently running with 22 coaches after adding one 3AC economy class.

Have seen the Pearl City rake getting parked somewhere between Kodambakkam and Pallavaram from morning to evening. CAPE Exp is stabled mostly in MS itself.

---

If this also gets an extra 3AC its likely all three have RSA. Let's see.

---

Pearl City is an independent rake now. Only 12633/34 and 16525/26 have RSA.

---

3 trains cannot have RSA as Total cycle is 4500km from Tuticorin MAS Kanyakumari SBC and back. Not possible even with SM at SBC as round trip will exceed 4000km PM cycle limit for a rake. Pearl city will run independently.

---

Rake Standardization effect at Depot, Under Rake Standardization any train can take the rake as long as composition matches, but it wiil not mean that it will have a Sharing arrangement

---

Yes but not after 0000 hrs

---

Jab 9-10 ghante ka option avl hai tho koi kyun travel karega 17hrs......

---

Jat sgnr ka b same tha, wo b cancel bad me

---

There is slack time in VJA Gudur Section for 1+hr and Vskp can be accommodated, but the problem is there is no incoming and outgoing slot at Vskp with the present timings of the train in both directions. Timings of 2-3 trains need to be changed. One more problem.is continous arrival and deps at Vskp with 10 mins difference it effecting punctuality of trains.

---

TT of this train being slower than its counterpart which enters coimbatore, chennai central and vizag, can easily enter all these places.

---

Instead of morning dep from Tata, can it not be night dep from Tata around 23hrs...with a slight faster TT, can also touch VSKP, MAS and then reach ERS around 22 hrs which is much better than early morning dep at 5:15am. Reaches Aluva and ERS around midnight. Lots of people deboard these 2 stations and have to wait till next day morning since no transport is available

---

You know I always wonder why MAS continues to take in 13351 despite letting go of several important trains like Sanghamitra and others. 13351 has the most deboardings at MAS and was once it's terminating point, but so was Sangha, it always puzzled me how 13351 managed to retain it's MAS stoppage. Even CBE is traversed by this train instead of circumventing the main station of Coimbatore by going via Perambur...
