Kolkata Shalimar-Visakhapatnam Weekly SF Express/22853

If both are on time,overtake happens at Bhadrak as Mail have huge slack at BHC.

yes overtake happens between jjkr and bhc as mail has huge slack time between jajpur and bhadrack

That would block buster timings.

Tat might be a good move then there will be more demand but the main problem with this is the destination(Shalimar) which is very bed it would have been different if it was howrah

But at least it will reach after the sun rise.

Yes, it will more useful for people.

Ya but all south train starting from SHM or SRC from past couple of years.

Good to see there is sufficient demand.

Why not Santragachi instead of Shalimar??

What is there if it is SRC or SHM or HWH or SDAH or KOAA.

This train has good demand most of the year..except some lean period.

Ya i think people prefers SRC than SHM. But i don't know why not SRC.

Tatkal

Less chances, opt for tatkal...

Almost nil chances of confirmation...Better to go for Tatkal tomorrow...

Its actually better too. that timings 17:45 n reaching SHM after or in between 6-7am is quite better.

May be good if it is shifted to Friday or Sunday.

It reaches at 9:05 am as the other trains in that slot follow same.

Better to start after 6pm,,,, say around 6.15pm or so, would b easier coz from 5.30pm til 7pm-7.30pm, there is an free time apart from weeklies gagging in or out.

Sunday is possible. But friday already SC-SHM running with same slot.

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.

I have seen this train with coach numbers also..Even MAQ train too. Its clear this train not have RSA.

Is there any logic of Shunting/De-Shunting/Addition/Alteration of coaches/trains with RSA.

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.

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.

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.

G R E A T observation.

The return train has 3 empty sleepers

G R E A T ....this train is Friend of ajmer duronto

Why dont you influence Didi and get this cancelled?
I dont want VSKP home such Elephants.
We dont to become like SHM,KOAA,AII and JP.

Not friend but I guess AII Drnt infected this train with Virus.
We have to Use ANTI AJMER VIRUS to come out of this.

Cancel train of kolkata ?? No no , i want to live longer...

Dont cancel on the name of Kolkata but cancel on the name of VSKP.

Its far better than AII duranto. Running with more than 70% occupancy.
Any ways its lean period...most the train running empty now.

Common yaar. How can you compare AII Drnt and JP DEE DD with this.
This is much better as this has SL class and people en-route can board this.

instead can be extended till hyb

Yes ...also its not using brand LHB coaches which costs more to IR. Running with old rusted icf coaches.

No dear, they just wanted to run some train to VSKP and to project that they have considered VSKP too. It cannot be extended to Hyb or anywhere else. COA would have been better.

JP DD will not recover the coaches cost even after 10 years of run. Forget profits.

Already SHM-SC running with so many empty seats...why another to SC ?

is it?

yes coa a good option too

Dear, silent?

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.
/blog/post/520080

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%.

Nor , im emotinal about any train , even i say ajmer duronto freq should be decresed and converted to sf ... /blog/post/523286

Then why did you give a slip so fast :P ?

That's today. How about all these weeks?
anyways, good to see a sharp change in you.

hehe Lol :P

normally each train deserved 6 months to see if it gets patron.

Some can be said during birth itself.
