Current speculations about the 16526 SBC - CAPE Island Express:
Timings change: Probable 1940 departure from SBC. ED at 0130, ERN at 0730, KTYM at 0900, QLN at 1115, TVC at 1300, CAPE at 1530 (Stupid to suggest it will leave SBC two hours LATER). 16525 might be left untouched.
RSA with 12633/4 MS-CAPE Kumari Express and transfer of rake of the Kumari Exp to SWR with primary maintenance at SBC and secondary at MS/BBQ OR transfer of rake to SR with primary at MS/BBQ and secondary at SBC. RSA is almost confirmed

though by the cancelation of the two pairs of NCJ-CAPE rake movement passenger trains.
Route change: To be diverted via HSRA - DPJ instead of BWT - TPT to avoid running clash with SBC-BWT. If true, stops may be allotted at BYPL, CRLM, HSRA, DPJ and link might change to a KJM WDM3A or WDP4 for SBC-SA.
Augmentation with one First Class AC coach and one AC 3 tier (to match rake of 12633). But since 12633 has HA (AC first cum 2 tier) it might be HA. Again, TEN MP had previously demanded a H coach for Nellai (which currently runs 24 coach load) so probably this one will get a full H coach to satisfy that need. However, this has not appeared in PRS yet.
Also, never trust Malayalam media, they have no clue what they are reporting.

Island is the most convinent to reach CBE-0 LTT is not so reliable as Island Express
anyway island is a slow cralwer for Kerala for a journey after Trichur- better to take 16315 or tri-weekly Graib rath rather than this

Its a Good and Awesome Change if they Implement.
The Train is currently only useful to till CBE, PGT & TCR.
For ERS or KTYM people, its damn difficult to travel in Island as it will be reaching by 10.30 am & 12.30 pm respectively.
So this change is Good.. CBE people can use Train 11013
PGT,

TCR, ERS & KTYM people can reach Home early.. So its pretty good Change

Re# 1151220-12              
i think these are pretty bad suggestions. this is the only train with decent timings to PGT and CBE. i would like this train to reach TVC earlier however but maybe after they put a better train to PGT. maybe one of the ERS SFs should be made daily and leaving SBC at 2100.
also, route change would be a foolish thing to do. no train going on that HSRA route will keep time. it is horrible. best avoided till it become double

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
