Iam proposing a train fm Mangalore which will run 6 days a week.

2)Mangalore-Mysore/Arsikere-Bangalore-Chennai 3 days a week.

this purpose i have attached the following maps:
map1:07606 KCG-MAQ Spl
map2:KCG-MAQ via SBC,ASK.
map3:MAS-MAQ via KPD,CBE,PGT.
map4:MAS-MAQ via SBC,ASK.
map5:MAS-MAQ via SBC,MYS.
map6:16565 YPR-MAQ.
1)Mangalore-Mysore/Arsikere-Bangalore-Kacheguda 3 days a week:
07606 KCG-RU-KPD-CBE-PGT-CAN-MAQ=1529 kms,travel time=30hours.
KCG-GY-DMM-SBC-ASK-HAS-MAQ=1071kms,traveltime=22ho urs.
KCG-GY-DMM-SBC-MYS-HAS-MAQ=1134kms,traveltime=24ho urs.
So the proposed KGC-SBC-MAQ route was differing by 458kms,8hours less journey in case of ASk-HAS route,difference is 400kms,6hours less journey in case of MYS-HAS route when compared to the 07606 spl.
Brief timings:
Via Arsikere
Kacheguda 10:00
Dharmavaram 17:45
Bangalore City 22:00
Arsikere 01:00
Hassan 01:50
Mangalore Central 07:30
Via Mysore
Kacheguda 10:00
Dharmavaram 17:45
Bangalore City 22:00
Mysore 00:30
Hassan 02:30
Mangalore Central 09:30
Fm Eqn1 the following connectivities are obtained:
i)Hyderabad-Bangalore.
ii)Hyderabad-Mangalore.
iii)Bangalore-Mangalore.
iv)Bangalore-Mysore/Arsikere.
v)Mysore/Arsikere-Mangalore.
vi)Hyderabad-Mysore/Arsikere.
2)Mangalore-Mysore/Arsikere-Bangalore-Chennai 3 days a week.
12601 Chennai-Mangalore Mail via Kpd,CBE,CLT=889 kms,travel time=16 hrs.
16107 ChennaiEgmore-Mangalore viaVM,TPJ,CBE,CLT=983kms,tt=23hours.
MAS-JTJ-SBC-ASK-HAS-MAQ=808kms,traveltime=16hours.
MAS-JTJ-SBC-MYS-HAS-MAQ=870kms,traveltime=18 hours.

Fm Eqn1 the following connectivities are obtained:
i)Chennai-Mangalore.
ii)Chennai-Bangalore.
iii)Chennai-Mysore/Arsikere.
iv)Bangalore-Mangalore.
v)Bangalore-Mysore/Arsikere.
vi)Mysore/Arsikere-Mangalore.
So,the proposed train's performance is greater than 16107 MS-Mangalore Exp and is equal to 12601 Mangalore mail.Currently there r 5 daily trains fm Chennai to Mangalore of them 3 r taking KPD-SA-CBE-PGT-CLT-CAN route & remaining 2 r taking VM,TPJ,CBE,ED,PGT,CLT,CAN route.SR can atleast would have thought of the proposed route,it can atleast have introduced one weekly train via SBC,MYS/ASK all the MAS-MAQ trains r covering entire Tamilnadu & little bit Kerala no Karnataka(only destination in karnataka) in these ones.
Whats the speciality of MAS-SBC-MAQ route is that the locus of the points of Chennai,Bangalore & Mangalore forms a straight line.i.e.,The Bangalore is at the origin,Chennai is a point on the positive X-Axis & Mangalore is a point on the negative X-Axis.Bangalore=(0,0),Chennai=(360,0),Mangalore=( -448,0).You can observe these one clearly fm the maps.Similarly for the Eqn1 Bangalore is at Origin,Kacheguda is a point on the Positive Y-Axis & Mangalore is a point on the negative X-Axis.i.e., Bangalore=(0,0),Kacheguda=(0,625),Mangalore=(-448, 0)
Here i have shooted totally 12 birds with one shot.This train will fully resolves the problem of Mangalore connectivity to Bangalore & Hyderabad.Moreover Mysore/Arsikere/Hassan will get connected to Hyderabad & Chennai.
This train will have the same time slot fm Bangalore to Mangalore.

Suppose to travel to TPTY from SBC 2nite, with family, by 56213, booked for seva at tirumala on 19.08.2013, VISHESHA PUJA, saw in d news paper 2day that bus services to tirumala is stopped again...
We called TTD office this morning, to chk whether bus services are there, and we told them we booked seva for monday.. they said seva is canceled due to "PAVITHROUTSAVA" at tirumala.
Pathetic...TTD didn't even inform about d cancellation. I canceled both onward and rtn jrny... loss of about Rs.600.00...
