Now the train is running whit a 3 tier coach as C2

Oh thats great..

maq -hyd exp passes via kerala and its likely that kannur,calicut and palakkad will fall under general quota.As usual like all other trains 70 percent of the occupancy will be frm kerala as there is cureently only 1 train frm tvc and ers to hyb,its likely that many ppl would come to shornour and board this train.This train is actually more benefitial to kerala i guess

yes even i think so ltt kcvl will run via KR.And also frequency of samparkkranthi is icreased to 2 times a week

That was the assurance given by RM when our representatives met him last week at New Delhi

The new Bangalore – Mangalore Weekly Express will run via Kannur, Kozhikode, Shoranur, Palakkad, Coimbatore and Salem and not through the Subramanya – Hassan – Mysore/Tumkur route

Not gonna happen. Protests will stir up as soon as an official announcement is made and the train will have to be diverted via SWR.

Is this a longer route Vignesh and what is the difference in length ?

u know how strong the protests will be in kerala if the train is diverted.

There's been some miscommunication. The biweekly train via CLT is the KCG express and not SBC Express. KCG has been misinterpreted as SBC.

Yes, it will definitely run via CAN-PGT-SA route only. There is no other report saying any other routes for this train.
But my only doubt is whether this is made a bi-weekly or still a weekly as per the original Rail Budget announcement

Actually mangalore rail user association demanded extention 16527 kannur ypr exp to mangalore.But the railways announced a new train to bangalore via pgt.So i guess both mangaloreans and keralites are satisfied..Good decision by the railways.

I hope it should be converted to Daily in next railway budget itself.
And wish in the next railway budget itself, MAQ-SBC Triweekly Express via Arsikere should be introduced.
Bcoz MAQ people need proper connectivity to their State capital via both Mysore and Arsikere.

RDB sir, aapko dekh ke "RAC" click kar diya hai. jai ho !! :)
(waise mujhe bhi confirmation mushkil lagta hai)

Yes it does have admins please update it in the CC of the train

Updated, Thanks for informing.

Yes if its extended to kcvl via ktym the train will run with 100 pc occupancy on almost all days

I am 100% in agreement.

Proposal for KCVL-LTT GR in th enext budget may solve the issue

it will have excellent patoangelike netravati if extended to trivandrum via kottayam with 60 percent quota for kerala

Have a new train from LTT-TVC instead of extending this , also it has a rake sharing with manglore-trivandrum express. So, extending wont be a good idea.

Yes.

IR should stop this practice of extending trains unless they are otherwise poorly patronized. Instead a separate train should be introduced to cater to the demands of passengers travelling to Kerala.

its already running full!!..how can you extend it?

it runs with less than 40 pc occupancy between mao and majn.so dont worry

creating bulb line and every train fro keral entering maq will simply waste the time and would congest the alread small maq which has just 3 platform.In my opinion trains to chennai,kerala must start from maq an trains via konkan must start from majn

Thats what is happening right now Trains to Chennai /Kerala start & terminate at MAQ & KR trains by pass MAQ what are you trying to say different ..Only Matsygandha & Verna are starting from MAQ towards KR and they are no way congesting MAQ.

MAQ has better space than MAJN. It'll be easy for IR to take development activities @ MAQ than MAJN as they won't need to wait for Land to get from State Govt.

but if all KR trains enter Maq what is the purpose of majn ??

yes u r right.Majn must be developed instead of maq

It is HA1 not HBI.i think someboby updated it by mistake

cancel this tickrt and book a ticket till banaswadi it will get confirmed.
This ticket have just 10 percent chance of getting confirmed

it has been given on wr that either 2a or 3a coach will be attached tmrw

yes so what is the possibility my ticket getting confirmed?

Better book for august kranti exp also.If 2a coach gets attached to ur train only then it will get confirmed
