Re# 750778-3                  
in this train a normal second general coach is used as D-1 between MAS and TPTY. it is not a 3*3 chair car but a second class coach with 90 seating capacity. It is marked as D 1 only between MAS-TPTY and SL coaches run as unreserved general coaches.

Re# 750274-8                  
no point in retraining these trains and running time will be almost same. I all probability MV & TN timing may be revised and hampi will provide morning and evening connectivity between SBC-S as TN will not stop at S. Already stated my Siddharth golgumbus will take on rajyarani slot and basava will take YPR-MYS slot. SWR MYS division is lobbing for for extension of other trains also karnataka express being one of them. Even udyan and 12785/86 may be extended as former's primary maintenance is shifted to SUR and latter states idle for whole day to MYS. once doubling is completed MYS will have better connectivity.

SA-KRR line will have the say. If both trains are diverted then there will be significant change in timing.

Re# 750274-12                  
I guess this is all happening bcoz of YPR getting choked and MYS getting good reason for extn after doubling. Going forward it should not be the case to extend all MYS bound train to CMNR, bocz of space crunch in MYS !!

Re# 753134-53                  
a nice ghost story about chalukya express. Source indiamike.
Late one Tuesday night the Bangalore Express (as it was called in those days) departed Miraj station on a routine journey south, but as it crossed the Krishna River and started it's journey through the Jamkhandi Hills disaster was waiting on the track ahead.
A pack of Chalukya Bears were playing on the track, the driver didn't stand a chance, the train was going too fast and hit the bears, killing most of them, it was the beginning of the end for the Chalukya Bears, their numbers were small and this accident was one they would never get over, the last sighting of a Chalukya Bear was 4 years ago and they are now believed to be extinct.
...

But the bears were to get their revenge.
For months passengers on the Bangalore Express complained of foul smells and hearing howling noises as the train passed through the Jamkhandi Hills, in the end Indian Railways changed the name of the train and it's timings, making sure the train passed through the Jamkhandi Hills during daylight, eventually, with customers still complaining, Indian Railways decided to stop running the train on Tuesdays.

yes i discussed on this topic some 1 year back here in iri by seeing it on indiamike, we had a long discussion about it . finally the person who said this story on indiamike was called here to clarify whether its true or not, he said " no it was just a story made by me for timepass, the killing of bears never happened " :P

Re# 753720-9                  
General guidlince followed by TTE working from SBC towards DMM. FOR all stations from SBC upto HUP they wait till HUP and allot RAC passangers only after HUP. For stations beyond HUP they do not clear and leave it to SCR TTE's. DMM TTE check tickets and for trains via GTL hand over to GTL TTE who allot everything. For GY route trains they them self do it after ATP.
From mysore in evening dep trains everything is cleared by SBC tte's. we have people booking from MYS and boarding from BCN also and still TTE do not object. Also TTE check in only MYS quota and do not check in combined quota. Even after checking they do not allot seats and is done by SBC TTE only.

Pradeep.. However, the for trains from MYS side SBC TTE's do get cheesed off if they find it anyother station other than KGI. When i was travelling in Kaveri once a lady had booked from Mandya to Chennai and boarded at SBC. The TTE was furious and almost said he will not allow her to travel. may be the odd hour saved the lady..
