Re# 6053294-7              
what is the use of changing to MS when Turn around time at bangalore is much more than chennai. They need to speed up island so that it can be cleaned in Kanyakumari. those times kottayam doubling works were happening so it got huge delays in enroute. Better idea would be to introduce SMVT CBE in Island old TT and advancing island so that it can be a good ICE for CBE to CAPE. thus giving little more turn around time at CAPE. return anyway no issue.

Agree
I dont think it will go to CST. Its very recently short term to Pune and the standing time in Pune is around 1 hour and its leaving to its home statio CAPE from pune within that hour. Pushing to CST will make the railways do Secondary Maintanence at CST.

Sure TVC div - we can hope they will do it in next 10 years haha. Doubling KTYM line has never changed any trains TT. Infact TVC mail that used to arrive at 11:15 AM during single line time is now arriving at 11:45 after doubling. They gave lot of slack from Varkala to TVC

Hello all, i have to book sleeper class ticket from Warangal to Villupuram for 4-5 passengers. Even for the farthest bookable date the number of tickets available in all the trains are very very few like only around 10 - 12 tickets are available, even in 3rd and 2nd ac its the same case. Why is the quota so less ? I tried checking from Nagpur still its same, from Vijayawada almost same scenario, my concern is if i book the ticket as the availability is so less i might get berths at different places. Any suggestions, among the 4 people i am the only guy other 3 are my mom and her sisters around 50-55 years of age, it would be best if all 4 of us can get near by berths or next to next. Train fans and experts help me out 🙏😊

Go ahead and book this off. You'll mostly get seats in the same bogie. If not, ppl will adjust. I don't think any other train has more chances for you.
Also, I don't think quota is reduced after April 22nd , it looks like tickets are booked more for the next dates, that's all.

Re# 5944792-8              
Not a good arrangement beyond saving a rake. The Island Exp rake at CAPE could be used for a new overnight service now that MDU-NCJ is FEDL.

Also there is a more prudent option to operate 17235/6 using Island's rake thereby freeing up Seshadri's rake at SMVB to operate a different service.

If

SR wants to take over Island and revive what was not a popular RSA with 12633/4, it should be done relieving Pearl City (could compensate by RSA with a new train or increasing the frequency of one of the trains from MS) as well as spare Bangalore CDO from secondary maintenance duties.

SR SWR should think of a SF between SBC to RMM via SA TPJ and SA MDU (tri weekly each).
Also, ONT between SBC and KIK via KPD TNM VM MV.
