At least SER kind of adding AC coaches for VSKP trains. Already running 4 AC coach, so now 5-AC coaches. This says the demand from Kolakata to VSKP. Hope they will change terminals and timings so that it gets more demand.

The MP of VIZAG proposed time change for this train. She wanted it to share slot with Vskp-digha and SC-SHM weekly...That mean 17:45 departure at VSKP.

17:45 means it shares slot with SC-SHM weekly.

The fate of this train gonna change if RM agrees to the demand. The demand is to change the dep time to 17 45 hours from 13 45. This would help to reduce the demand on Mail as well as YPR HWH and also, one need not fear the mid night SHM station.

Agree with you.
Actually Most trains in SER does not have RSA except Jagannath, Gitanjali, Hatia, east Coast, Mas mail and Coro.
But there are lots of Shunting/De-Shunting/Addition/Alteration of coaches/trains done at SRC Shed.

Re# 581826-4                  
No Logic actually.
Attach Spare coaches to weekly trains while these coaches are attached to Daily trains where there is no such compulsion.
1)Like 22854 (SL/AC)coaches may be attached to 12572 SNSI express on Thursdays.(I have seen this Shunting twice).
2)I have also seen the shunting of 12572 SSPN Empty rake for 12834 ADI Exp.
3)Also I have seen Shunting taking place for 18006 Sambaleshwari express for 12571/12574.
The above scenarios have been observed by me more than 8-9 months back.
A)Generally The rake of 12837,12810 and 12863 are NOT Loose Shunted.

Re# 581826-5                  
I think it is big and time consuming phenomenon.Generally it is cumbersome to disturb the compostion very often by shunting.For Ex;Falkunama and Naryanadri has RSA.Though, Naryanadri doesn't require a pantry it is still continued without carrying out shunting.May be due to absence of sufficient loop lines at SC yard.

Re# 581826-6                  
But SRc Shed removes the PC from Gitanjali for Jagannath.
Also the 2 HA Composite coaches of HWH HTE exp is removed for East coast exp.
So SRC shed people does some work really despite other activities.

I can understand your feelings to project this as White Elephant, but VSKP'ites don't feel shy to tell that this is a WE and we dont want it.
We use EMOTIONS to think rather than to THINK with EMOTIONS.
You can see my entry for the same train and argument.

ya coa is good. But this train has good demand only.
But 10 SL is more for a weekly. Also we cannot judge with this availability, because unlike other train this train tatkal quota is only 10% of total seat...for remaining its 30%.
