Mannai Express/16180

After introduction of tj-ms exp, there may be chances for mannai's diversion. so tt should be comfortable for tj people bro. also around 8.45pm only rockfort also leaving tj.
1 more concern is early arrival at tbm. u should have knw that local bus facilities will not be there at that time.(50% alights at tbm...)
but ms-tj perfect...

thanks bro i tried hard to find arrival slot at ms that's why i put it 20.45,if diversion happens for mannai a free slot would be available for TJ-MS to start late from TJ...

this train should start after 21:30 hours from TJ..20:45 is too early for this train and will be a super duper crawler

9.50pm or 10.00pm wil b a great timing for tj, kmu, mv...

yes bro...this TT will be a perfect ONT...

if it start by 21.30 from TJ more chances for collision in TT with kamban at mayiladuthurai also no arrival slots at MS after 4.30 am ....

nice one but trailing kamban and pandiyan is little hard for operational reasons,also Mannai's future we dont know whether it wil continue via TJ,KMU or diverted via TVR,MV but if pandiyan's slot would made slight change at MS more chances for ur TT to implement......

Thanks bro...
definitely there ll be a huge tt change for all trains... especially there is a plea for pandiyan to start late from either end... lets wait for july sr new tt.

Also am expecting following slot changes
Nellai-20.50 (no chng),
boatmail- 21.10(chngd),
pandiyan-21.30(chngd),
ms-maq-21.45(chngd),
mannai-22.00(no chng),
kamban-22.15(chngd),
rf-22.30(no chng),
mahal-22.45(no chng),
ms-sa-23.00(no change),
ms-tj-23.15(new)

this is what i also expected great suggestion of departure timings bro,also if VLKN linked with mannai or new TJ exp or kamban then it will also to be noted,my wish is mannai could share with VLKN link exp till MV and then run as separate train to VLKN from MV-TVR line it would give second ONT connection to MV-TVR line.....

I am also wishing for mannai to get seperated. but 90% no chance...
kamban has 90% chance... slip coaches are likely to be attached with a pass train @ngt like mettur dam slip coaches s8 and a ur detached at sa and attached with a pass train. likewise they wil do i guess...
its still being a puzzle...
lets wait.

i asked to railway official bro,they said no chance for kamban to be linked with VLKN exp coz RSA confusions will be there and also kamban is now 18 coacher and operational difficulties at NGT coz of the sharp curve at NGT station also due to Loco availability at MV they said more chances for mannai to be spliited at MV.....

yes bro, mannai can continue via TJ,KMU and then join at MV also VLKN slip can be attached at MV this will be a perfect ONT for entire delta,BTW i also saw the plan map that starts from NMJ-TVR side and it joins the NMJ-MQ track by circling round NMJ,if this happens then this will be the following accomodations for delta towns:
New TJ-MS (350 accomodations for TJ,KMU,MV with GN quota till SY)
Mannai can be easily accomodate another 60 plus accomodations for TJ,KMU,MV
VLKN link exp attached with mannai and kamban exp will give two ONT connections to TVR,NNM,PEM people with each of 100 plus accomodations......

Yes bro... instead of building a over bridge inside town, they can put this 2 km track to avoid loco reverse and long irritating wait of busses...

SR should finalize and finish this 2 km track soon to efficient use of trains and avoiding loco reversals...

Here is the pictorial view of the suggested plan...

great plan indeed,hope soon to get finished....

also give your view on this...

Thanks updated.

well, there must be something for this kind of allotment. Its for railways to decide..

politics....nothing more than this..nearly 80% seats are booked by TJ/KMU passengers only..they used to book from NMJ to MS and used to board from TJ/KMU

there is no politics.even i used to book like that.but,only rockfort&cholan has gnwl quota from tj--ms

MQ and NMJ has given GN...but they cant even fill upto 25%....then for what they gave GN??? Mannai should be given GN for MQ,NMJ,TJ,KMU..See Boatmail,it has GN upto PDKT from RMM

you are correct sir.and say the best train from tj--ms.

for TJ there is no night train with GN except Rockfort.....22623/24 MDU-MS SF has GN for TJ..but it is Bi-Weekly

sir,iri shows wrong.better check irctc.except mdu--ms,oters are pqwl

ya the same only i said...Rockfort and MDU-MS SF has GN...remaining PQ

mdu--ms is also having pqwl. check in irctc

screen behind politics there in mannai exp.....

yes...TJ has PQ in MDU-MS..When did they change from GN to PQ???

sir,i checked 15 days before,it showed pqwl.rac is useful for passengers or not? why dont they give rac for pqwl

and my news is clicked on railway budget(TJ-MS) exp,it should be named as brahadeeswara exp....

PRAHADEESWAR or BRAHADEESWARA ??

I wanted it to be as in screen name:-P
what name we will have for mq-cbe?
(anyway sr wont name any train. v hav to cal so fr our satisfaction.)

SR will not name any train....may be chances for TJ-MS..but for CBE-MQ no chance..

brahadeeshwara.....

this time MQ-CBE exp will get siruvani exp name.....

Source of info?????there is no such info from Budget....Mannai will not be diverted i think.....

If so will they retain RF as of now or restore that also to TPJ. Hence we will have only 2 night trains Boat mail and TJ-MS...! Any way this is expected and Restoration of RF also expected...!

railway official told to me selva no need to annouce in budget we have to watch ARP period so close....

because of this reason(only two ONT from TJ)Mannai has less chance for diversion..

Yes. May be in Interim budget they wil announce or they will leave it as RF because of political pressure...!!

yes bro,for that only he proposed for TJ-MS ont to divert mannai via MV-TVR....

I feel TPJ should get its due by RF restoration. Btw, a good name, BT Express.

Thanks... But lazy SR will again show it's laziness to naming this train... We will un officially call it as so for our satisfaction :(

That compliment was for you, not for SR, how can IR show such a despicable attitude towards the King Pallavan and MAQ-TPJ and for directing their ire towards the TPJ people. Cannot digest this.

even i cant digest this...but the truth here is KKDI ppl never demanded new day train to MS..They were always asking for Pallavan extension to KKDI...now ultimately happened :( :( :(

no selva he is well planned he was already preferd for mannai via TVR line but after strong protest he agreed to continue via TJ now a he give new ONT to TJ also he will do anytime now diverison is possible....

if it is happened then there is very less chance for restoring RF

if it is happened then there is very less chance for restoring RF

Already we know Rockfort wont be restored due to pressure from political side....

yes....if Mannai is getting diverted via TVR then it will have poor patronage as there will be Kamban,VLKN-MS exp,Mannai(may be)...but TJ/KMU which is bigger town than these areas again left out with only one TJ-MS exp with GN..

Atleast thier wish is proposed than people from MV-TVR line,Peralam nannilam people also needs more trains.....

This diversion is of no use! need of the hour is RF's restoration to tpj!
so that trichy will have a dedicated train. If they divert mannai, rf and also have only slip coaches in the form of tj-ms exp it will again be the same situation what we have now.
In my view, rf should be restored to tpj.
mannai should not be diverted so that tj will have atleast 3 ont to ms daily!
anyway, no diversions possible until june month!

we cant decide it's all in the hands of mr.trb,if diversion happens nothing we can do against the decision..,

i don support for diverting Mannai.....

Correcta sonneenga thalaiva..!

i too.
we need restoration of RF too

neenga support panna enna illana enna nama kaila ethuvum illa,pallavanku intha nelamaina matha traina pathi namma epadi mudivu panna mudiyum....

very correct....so we cant predict which train will be extended nu....!!!!!!!!

but why don they extend the genuine demands from ppl?????????

Thanks for the support.
rf is the only train in which tj,kmu, trb has gn quota. but ppl from these towns wanted rf to be restored to tpj. but wanna retain mannai...
so me too join the protest...
restore rf to tpj...

yes that should be done...
now TJ has GN in MAHAL but Bi-Weekly.....nothing more than this...if KKDI can have 3 trains(Boatmail,MS-KKDI Weekly,Pallavan)with GN quota to MS why not TJ can have MANNAI????

TJ can have RF MANNAI CHOLAN daily exp in GN ...... till RF restored

MANNAI PQ for TJ/KMU....MANNAI has GN only for MQ and NMJ

our fate selva,we dont have a common representative to materaialize our genuine demands....

if such thing happens continuously then ppl wont ask for extension at all...

Mannai pq for tj psk!

i said can have....

MANNAI must have GN for TJ/KMU.....MQ/NMJ is not capable of filling GN....

Exactly bro!
except advocate mr.rajendiran, we dont have a protester for representing delta people.
tj-ms and vlkn-ms itself will giv a great shock to omni bus operators who charge very high fares...

sry. i din notice. pls ignore.

Absolutely right.....

Most probably , MANNAI will be diverted through TVR on introduction of TJ-MS exp. It is mainly to avoid loco reversal at NMJ. Road Traffic on busy NH road comes to stand still at least for 20 mis for this train's loco reversal.

ya chances are there...then Mannai will get slip coaches for new VLKN-MS link exp???

On introduction of MS-TJ Exp, RF want's to restored back to TPJ.

yes RF must be restored.....TPJ is losing all its premier trains....

then y mq cbe ???? instead they can made it as kik cbe/ mv cbe/ tvr cbe

Yes , we want it to be like that. But RLY's having different thought. The total allotted berth in Tr no:16865 KIK-ERS TEA GARDEN Exp for CBE / TUP / ED is 4 nos in 2 nd AC, 6 nos in 3 rd AC, 6 nos in I st class, 44 nos in 2 nd SL and nothing in I st AC.

s. seats r very very limited ..

After a long time i have seen you IRI,anyway welcome back again,lets come to topic 1.MQ-CBE daily ont exp,2.MQ-TPTY triweekly-daily 3.TJ-MS or VLKN-MS or combination of slip service to VLKN from MV by attaching/detaching TJ-MS exp 4.KKDI-MS daytime daily exp are mostly confirmed in railway budget,apart from these demands any new demand proposed??

then what about RMM-TPTY frequency???any chance of making it daily???

i guess if pamani frequency is increased RMM-TPTY 's frequency also increased to daily which means a day and night connection to tpty daily,based on this order last time they increased frequency for meenakshi exp,also TJ-KMU people ask for daily connection.....

but what i heard is last time itself MDU division pleaded for increasing Meenakshi exp to daily..but due to introduction of Pamani exp,Meenakshi was made tri-weekly..

yes selva,due to intro of pamani express triweekly RMM-TPTY also made triweekly due to six days connection for delta districts,but unfortunately they put days of service for same day(tuesday) for both the trains,new line so first they introduced triweekly now the line is one year old so no probs of increasing frequency from triweekly-daily service on VM-KPD line.....

this is unfair...after MV, RMM-TPTY has many imp stops even Pamani in not serving delta completely...TJ,KMU,MDU,TPJ,RMM suffers a lot without daily..

TT committee has decided this kind of proposal selva,we should not blame pamani express,it's railway board's decision they put days of service on same day for both trains,it's completely their decision,90% RMM-TPTY would be made daily in railway budget....

also 3SL,two 3A,one 2A should be attached...FC can be removed...

yes three sleepers and two ac coaches are immediately needed,FC wont be removed selva.....

RMM is developed with all terminal facilities..but still no proper rail connectivity...

selva,we know train facilities in tamilnadu lacks a lot coz of political pressure and boycott approach of railway board,even CBE a corporation has not fulfilled with the required trains,they are struglling to get back remaining 6 diverted trains via PTJ,if a major station like CBE suffers means what can we expect from railways to fulfill our demands??

agree with u krish...for diversion of some trains TVC division is saying they need a fast connectivity...but here in RMM there is only one morn train towards MNM @ 5.35...after that no train service till 2.10 pm towards MNM except Sunday...

yes absolutely u are right which means railway board simply rejecting the demands of most important towns of tamilnadu......

yes neglecting the demands always...MDU DRM only said that DG-MDU pass will be extended to RMM when Meenakshi was about to extend...but after that no news/info regarding that..

he assured three set of DG-PLNI pass would be extended to MDU,RMM,MV but still no official announcements for the extension......

yes...he said TCN,RMM,TPJ/MV i think

Exactly selva but waiting for railway budget announcement,may be these passengers got extended from july.....

u can get change the boarding point..

It should not be a issue the one person boarding at NMJ can tell TTE that other two will join at KMU..He will accept it..

All pax will be changed. Individual BP cannot be changed AFAIK.

write a request letter of changing boarding point and submit to any PRS counter they will change your boarding point.......

But it wont be possible to change the BP of 2 Passengers in a PNR having 3 Passengers.
The Passenger who boards from the original Boarding Point can inform the TTE that his fellow passengers will be boarding from a different station and the TTE will accept that

Partial BP change is not allowed...

But it depends on TTE....may be its possible to tell him the two pax will board at another station.....

Pls request the TTE.. They generally agree.. I even feel that a TTE might join / check at TJ only.

Agree SRG sir........
