Re# 1383941-2              
It does work, But i feel there is a big scam in it. The contractors will use MGNREGA works for railway construction but Gov will pay the workers and also the contractor will take money for workers in the contract.
So basically the contractor will get free labour but he will get money from IR.

Feb 18 2015 (10:43)   12736/Yesvantpur - Secunderabad Garib Rath Express

Article in yesterday's Deccan Herald (17-Feb) highlighting the inconvenience faced by passengers and low level occupancy after change in timings. The triweekly Garib Rath train from Yeshwantpur to Secunderabad has been advanced by almost six hours. The advancement has resulted in a very thin booking rate and the occupancy has slipped from an average of 70 per cent to 40 per cent.
While the passengers blame the South Western Railways (SWR) for the unfriendly timings, sources in the Railways attribute the reason behind the change to a former railway minister. The former minister wanted another triweekly, the Yeshwantpur-Bidar Express, to run seven days a week. As the Bidar train timings clashed with the Garib Rath train, the schedule was changed.
Sources

say that despite opposition from the SWR and South Central Railway officials, the Railway Board at its meeting decided to change the timings of the Garib Rath to accommodate the Bidar train on three more days a week.the new schedule is inconvenient. Professionals will have to take a half-day leave to catch the train at 1.30 pm. The arrival time is also odd as the train reaches its destination at 4 am.

Re# 1372692-25              
Its just the Bus lobby which doesnt allow SWR to run trains to cities like HYD, chennai, pune, mumbai, vizag and others with suitable timings.. when we have slots for raj, ksk, duranto.. why cant find a slot for this. This is huge demand for AC trains in the above routes.
They have changed the timings of kaveri making it unsuitable for Bangalore.

Malgudi can easily run on time if kaveri is delayed by 30 mins..Maludi is wasting lot of time at ypr and occupying platform for longer time. That time can be easily reduced
