I see the loco link for Igatpuri-NZM mentioned in the forum as WAP 4/5 GZB/ET Shed or BSL WAM . never, mostly it gets BSL WAM 4 from Igatpuri and occassionely BSL WAP 4 When will Kerala exp get an LHB rake? It will not get lhb for next 7 years. Even if it get lhb Trivandrum division of SR will not be able to maintain it properly. For Tamilnadu express mostly coaches are recently bulit and not earlier than 2007, whereas kerala uses coaches made of 1990, 1991, 92 and 93 Oct 22 2012 (1:55PM) Hazrat Nizamuddin-Ernakulam Duronto/12284 | ST/Surat (4) ⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ Guest: 2ea45597 show all posts  The Unsolved and biggest Mystery of Indian Railway..why NZM - ERS Duronto halts at Surat.. there is no water filling, no loco change no crew change nothing then also it halts there why ? any reason ?This train is of no use for passengers from Kerala. Either convert it to superfast or to an all ac with pantry and limited stops. if IR want to continue it as Duronto, please reduce the running time by minimum 3 hrs. presently its running on monsoon timings It has five minutes halt in Surat during the normal timetable also. many trains are overtaking and I am going to travel on this train on 3rd Nov from NZM to ERS Oct 13 2012 (11:07PM) Nizamuddin-Trivandrum Central Rajdhani Express/12432 ⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ Awaiting CR ACfication*^ 4789 blog posts 11384 correct pred (64% accurate) My complaint to IR: Dear Sir, Through this Grievance Redressal Forum, I wish to draw your attention to the absurd timings of 12432 H. Nizamuddin (NZM) - Trivandrum (TVC) Rajdhani Express. As of now, it departs NZM at 11.00 hours to arrive at TVC at around 09.30 am on the third day during monsoon and 05.30 am on the third day, at other times. As a result, it has to travel through the state of Kerala in the wee hours of the night. As a result many passengers, especially those travelling to Northern Kerala stand inconvenienced. 2. Moreover, this train needs to be speeded up as it is the premier train of... Read more... 12 posts are hidden. Click to open. The following details with respect to 12432 had earlier posted in another blog related to Indian Railway and received valuable opinions and comments from the co-bloggers. I reproduce the same post in verbatim herein for initiating a discussion in this blog. NZM – Panvel By speeding up and giving topmost priority the 12432 can reduce the running time from NZM to Panavel by minimum one hour from existing running time of 18 hrs 5 minutes to 17 hrs. Please note that 12951 (Mum Raj) is covering almost the same distance in 16 hrs 5 minutes and 12954 (AK Raj) is taking 17 hrs and 22210 (BCT Duronto) is taking 16 hrs 15 minutes. Since 12432 also running with LHB bogies and also hauled mostly by WAP-5 and occasionally by WAP-7 Locos... Read more... Oct 16 2012 (9:10AM) ↑⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ Awaiting CR ACfication*^ 4789 blog posts 11384 correct pred (64% accurate) Agreed that for a prestigious train like Rajdhani, there is an urgent need to reduce running time by 4 hours in monsoon and min 6 hours during non monsoon (both ways). However, writing to Northern railways will not be useful as I have already received a reply that this Raj covers just 53 kms in their zone. It will be better is this suggestion is put to all zonal railways through which it passes. I have done so earlier and waiting 4 replies. Please see attachment for list of Email IDs of Zonal Heads & Railway Board 4 posts are hidden. Click to open. Thank you for providing the e-mail- contacts. With the present schedule, it will be difficult to speed up this train. It is better to change the departure time from NZM after 7 PM. By increasing the speed, the train can reach Trivandrum by 11 AM a day after the departure by consuming approximately 40 Hrs. Return journey from Trivandrum can also adjusted accordingly atleast during Non Monsoon timetable.

Instead of diverting this train through coimbatore, it is always better to start a new rajadani service from NZM to TVC through Erode coimbatore route with different timings and different rakes may be for 2 services a week. Now SWR has taken responsibility of Bangalore rajdhani likewise SR can start and handle the new service. Now the availability of LHB rakes have increased, it will not be difficult to start new service which can even announce in the coming rail budget. I am sure, that service will be hit from day one on wards. 5 posts are hidden. Click to open. Doubling of KR line is out of question for another decade. Difficult to get environmental clearances and also the financial aspect needs to be looked. Further, is it possible to make a second line without drilling the existing tunnels 8 posts are hidden.

For the fellow bloggers information, both follows the same time slot in this route, but slower by almost 45 minutes to one hour. Further this train also slower than 12223 Mumbai LTT- ERS route. Therefore, I do not think it will be difficult for IR to reduce the running time of this service by at least 2 to 2.30 Hrs from the current running time. Look forward to receive comments from other bloggers. The complication is that because of Monsoon TT, any train has two have two connecting slots not just within konkan but also in the connecting zones It is not the monsoon timetable which is worse than the normal timetable. i noted the above points on the basis of the normal timetable very difficult sir. since KR is single and CSTM NZM is vested with more priority trains than this one. either scrap this train or convert it into normal Superfast express i agree with you its should be convert into a superfast train instead of duronto only a loss for railway. write to higher officials of Indian Railways sir Oct 15 2012 (2:34PM) Nizamuddin-Trivandrum Central Rajdhani Express/12432 ⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ Guest: 7fcca289 show all posts Why Railways Want to Waste Diesels on Electric Route, Loco Change for this train and kerela Sampark Kranti express and Group can be Changed at Panvel Instead of Vadodara, AC lo0cos can easily go till Panvel Also Diesel Prices have gone high and IR specnds 1/4 of Diesels on White elephants 2 posts are hidden.

Since there is no commercial stoppages, it can divert through the Kerala route without touching Coimbatore. End to end WAP 7 or WAP 5 loco usage will certainly reduce drastically the running time in the new route but this is extra 200kms.. 4 posts are hidden. Click to open. Aug 09 2012 (3:49PM) Trivandrum Central-Hazrat Nizamuddin Rajdhani Express/12431 ⇑ ↓⇓ ←→ Awaiting CR ACfication*^ 4789 blog posts 11384 correct pred (64% accurate) I was just analyzing the journey run of this train. 1. I notice that this train takes same time to reach from TVC to MAJN both during monsoon & non monsoon. It is shocking to discover that it covers this stretch at an avg speed of 59kmph much below the avg speed of other Rajs. If it runs at min. of 80 kmph in Kerala state alone, it would reduce travel time by minimum of 2.5 hours. This stretch has double lines which can withstand 110kmph, so attaining 80kmph should not be a problem. 2. The Avg speed of the train in Monsoon at present between PNVLto NZM is 68 kmph...

By speeding up and giving priority it can reduce the running time from NZM to Panavel by minimum one hour from existing running time and also reduce 45 to 50 minutes from Panavel to Mangalore especially during non monsoon period. Further the present running time from from Mangalore to Shornur was set up way beck in 199, when the whole section was single. Since, it is passing this strech during night, it can save another 30 minutes in this section also. Recently SR decided to increase the speed of train in Shornur -Ernakulam strech another 20 minutes can be saved. Hence, my suggestion is if the Northern Railway decides to fine tune the existing timetable, the running time of this train can be reduced by a minimum of 2hrs 30 minutes in both directions. I look forward to receive... Read more...

Click to open. further to my earlier blogs, IR should change the route of this train through nagpur and AP, which is the shortest fully electrified. If IR allot a WAP 5 loco, it can easily reach ERS within 36-37 hrs through this route. Since most of the offices in delhi is closed on sat and sun, this train will get god response id it change its days of operation to start from nizamuddin on friday 9.30 pm through the new route. It is convenient to chnage the days of operation of this train . Better to start on fridays from nizamuddin instead of saturdays. This will attract more passengers to thsi train. Also my suggestion is to increase the speed of this train a bit by which it should reach ernakulam by 10 am in the morning why friday? better make it daily. it is running full on weekends, so will definitely be full on weekends. also change timings such that it leaves tvc@16:00, ers@18:45, ndls@09:30 after monsoon (from nov1) 1 posts are hidden. Click to open. The Idea is good as let the train depart from NZM on fridays 21.30 and reaching ERS on Sundays and let the same depart from ERS on Mondays at the same time(23:30hrs, passangers from ktym and Allpy can reach ERS by vanchi nad or TVC Guruvayoor intercity) reaching ERS in 10:00 will be difficult as the train got a rake of AC and sleeper mixed as the max speed for hybrid LHB rake is only 120kmph and in KR in most places Max speed is 90kmph, Rajadani with LHB rakes is taking almost 41 hrs to reach ERS. except during monsoon timetable KR have the track capacity to run at 120 km. now the doubling of manglore-shornur line is lmost completed, reaching ernakulam at 10 am is not possible but 11.30am is possible. Also note that this train is travelling the same strech from NZM to Mumbai where mumbai rajahani is travelling. so except the mumbai urban and surrounding areas, surely this train can increase its speed. further, max speed of hybrid LHB coaches is 130 Kms. Hence it is worthwhile to increase the speed and change the departure day from Nizzamudin. Page# 13 blog entries next>> |
