I would like to answer Koushik Patel's question in the previous thread Entry# 1169429.
Yes, An overnight durunto to SBC will be sucessfull, but consider this route.
Instead of taking the regular AJJ-JTJ-BWT-SBC route, if the duronto takes MAS-SA route and after a loco reversal it takes SA-Dharmapuri-HSRA-SBC will the duronto recieve any patornage?
Instead of 6hrs of regular journey it...
more... will take 8 hrs and the fares will shoot up to thousands that too on weekdays. Hence it would become a second priority festival train.
The same thing has happened to MDU-MAS-MDU duronto.
When announced this train created a huge joy among MDU-MS commutators but after commissioning it was a mere formality.
Speaking about the patornage defenitely from MAS/MS the highest patornage goes to MDU/CBE, all other places comes next due to the huge number of floating population. SR has made a mess in operating premier trains in these hugely demanded routes.
SR has made MDU duronto and CBE shatabtdi less demanded trains because of its ODD TT, circatious route and offcourse Dirty rakes.
