22237/Σ Gnt Ned Nsl weekly express ΣChain

Yes sir. Even i expected MAS SC VB via GDR TEL GNT. don't know why it did not come. TPTY GNT extension also will be good till Tiruchirapalli but will SR agree to it i wonder.
.
One special train is running 07435/36 Kacheguda - Nagercoil via guntur arunachalam. That slot is nice. Hope they make that slot daily till arunachalam and from there they can run 3 days to Nagercoil, 2 days to rameswaram and 2 days to velankanni.

All trains except for VB are fast passengers in Kerala + most of it's route is 110 MPS and I'm not sure about speedup when all routes in SCR are heavily congested. As I said before, shortest route isn't a solution to this train. Maybe a new train.

---

Absolutely and we shouldn't forget this is the first preference for sabarimala devotees from AP to this region and lot of keralites because, there's no other train. I wish another train via ALLP - ERS - CBE - SA - SBC - DMM would be launched

---

Same case with Venkatadri express

---

I think Venkat is not going to have any big change other than making the train LHB coach. I assume it would still run from Kacheguda to Chittor but lets see.

Sabari might undergo TT change too. Best would be to make the train leave SC or charlapalli at 06:45 am to arrive TVC at 10:30 AM and return to leave at 13:50 PM to arrive SC at 16:50 PM (as stand alone rake) with PM at SC.

Thanks for the Capture..

TVC departure at 0630 means conflict with Venad, Parasuram, Raptisagar, that whole slot is just jam packed with fast passenger like trains. Instead of aiming for SF, SC should just extend it to NED via MUE - NZB or BIDAR via VKB. Basically, a station with PM facilities or just continue RSA arrangements with 4 dedicated rakes for this train. At this point, I don't see SR budging even a bit. If only trains ran faster in Kerala without being fast passengers, we wouldn't have had this issue. Best bet would be an evening departure from TVC for faster schedule in Kerala or departing behind Kerala SF. Even then, there is a risk of getting caught up in the huge line up of Night time SF that will simply overtake Sabari, and PM at SC will become an issue, rescheduling, many know how that is going to work out.

A year back there was a proposal for rake sharing of Nethravathi & Matsyagandha which meant that the Nethravathji towards Mumnbai would have had to leave TVC early. As a result of its preponement, there was also a proposal to make Sabari exp leave early as compared to its current time so that PF is available in TVC. There was also a talk about making
Sabari leave from KCVL instead of TVC. The dep time was almost the same time as what you have suggested here. But I guess none of them have materialized till date. Nethravathi rake sharing with Matsyagandha is on cards. Maybe once that happens cascading effect might probably see Sabari leave TVC slightly earlier

---

Its going to change to 06:30 AM time anyway - Netravati and Madsyagandha are going to have RSA and Netra's time is going to change around 07:00 AM or 07:30 AM from TVC - Not sure about the date when , so in the source it said Sabari is going to be advanced by 15 mins which will make it leave around 06:30 AM from TVC. So this plan that I gave is anyway going to happen cause of the RSA proposed.

---

Correct, I think the RSA is going to happen soon for Netra and Matsya and Sabari will be advanced anyway. They mentioned in article Sabari will be advanced by 15 mins, I assume if they do that it's better to make it SF and take PM and run as dedicated train or run as SCR train with Narayanadri RSA with speed up in timing.
