Once the electrification starts from End to End its likely train wont have reversal at Manmad junction as it will be rerouted via Ankai to enter Manmad from Mumbai side to continue towards Jalgaon Junction.

I think its having loco reversal just because the train need engine change anyway , If engine change is not there anymore I think it will stop reversal and go in round route.

What are the railfans thoughts ? Also it need to be speeded up from Aurangabad to Manmad - its too much of slack honestly.

Sad to see this news ! Why would SCR even do that ?

This is the only "proper" dedicated train from Chennai to Hyderabad and fastest connectivity from Chennai to Hyd main station

charminar got ruined by SCR/SR cause it got extended to TBM via MS. TBM people - dont come to argue - TBM is like Lingampalli (MAS is like SC) - No TBM can not match connectivity of MAS. Also they are further planning to ruin charminar to CAPE

MS Kacheguda got ruined by getting extended to CGL and now PDY. I mean railways has gone nuts.

Now SCR is destroying this legendary train

It would not work great. Train used to have RSA with Island during ICF days. This legendary train was completely spoiled cause of Island Crawler once upon a time and always less clean and wont make to MS on time. Then they changed it to TN maintanence and the train got improved. Its a bad plan if they move it back as SWR train.

Agree
Unpopular opinion: Railways should change vande bharat / tejas of SR's coffee to regular south Indian filter coffee - Its sometimes too much to taste masala coffee or ginger tea - its no way tastier. Especially giving so much amount just to taste that disgusting coffee is bad ! Earlier Mys shatabdi used to serve food according to south with filter coffee. Railways cant make same food all across region and give watery sambar as south indian food . Early premium trains used to have regional food according to zone.

Non veg or Veg depend on people's choice. If someone select Non-veg then its their choice (fish if thats what the regional is)

This is specifically for veg i am talking about. I see how the menus has been changed compared to before

So true. And Why cutlet for evening snack ! They could do masala vade, medu vada for evening snack with tea. It would make sense even if its NR based MAS NZM rajdhani cause crew might be NR but they do give chaat foods in complete SR trains that are not our menu ! Its zero taste when i say its zero I mean its ZEROOOOO lol. There is this new masala coffee packet they give oh my yucky god it taste bad
