I'm Sure that this is a concern to every passenger, who has to wait patience in the train for 3 hours between Rasipuram & Salem.
The Problem is not becoz of the Platform in SBC, but the route from SA to SBC, where in, there're three Trains Passing, which is Mayiladuthurai-Mysore, Tuticorin-Mysore & Kannur-Yeswanthpur.
The Train departs Rasipuram at 12:38 AM or 00:38 AM, after which, it's halted for one train ( MAS-Palani ) for three hours. after which, it follows to SA.
what...
more... we can do is depart the train 30 minutes early at NCJ, so that, the train arrives to SA by 11:45 PM, post that, it can move freely without any interception., except the opposite trains, which can be stationed at OMALUR, karuvalli or Thoppur.
Also extend the un-reserved rakes to 4 or 5, which can be easily accomodated as there's rush during this summer & this is the only train, after Tutitcorin to southern Tamil Nadu.
