SR/TVC should be busy trying to block and sabotage all attempts by other divisions/zones to operate new trains to their jurisdiction!
The request to bifurcate Amrita & Rajya Rani is a long pending one; TVC refuses it citing lack of pitlines.
Same will be the response to the proposed MAQ - NCJ Super Deluxe Express, unless MAQ owns up responsibility for its maintenance.

more... Suresh MP wants a new train from PUU to ERS, ahead of Venad Express. As usual, Operations wing of TVC came up with a reverse time table(ERS dep @ 0410 & PUU arr @ 0935). As MP tried to get it reversed, TVC informed that the new train cannot be operated to ERS, but to PGT. Heard PGT has not accepted this proposal as it will adversely affect their regular line blocks.
