Kochuveli - Santragachi Summer Special/02852

GM surya......
Travelling in General class or SL...

Train is empty bro. I boarded this at GDR and entered into SL, and slept in side lower. Till now, no show from TTE. :P

VGM Surya. Happy to note that you managed to get not only a berth but the FULL BOGIE or maybe even the ENTIRE TRAIN all for yourself :)

my coach,

Gain control over the loco Surya. Thats the only thing left now.
Good morning. :)

HaHa, Good morning Sir just now a young TTE came and checked tickets. Payment done, rs 100 deducted from my pocket.

Good Morning Sir, I will check for the loco at RJY :)

Good morning sri Surya, have a great journey

A very good morning doctor sir and thank you

Surya record Coach Composition also...

Is this regular special. I thought only this time. So I will get the CC at RJY, now skipping NDD

stopping at Kovvur

gud mrng sir...how much empty it was really..any way u got a berth na..so happy...

the mighty godavari

So Ratnachal is going 2 overtake this train.????

Its starts from May 8th.

Sir, pl contact the respective officials for making this train daily.

Hw to do that...they will throw ppl like us out of their office..

WOW !!

However,a daily HWH-TVC AC Duronto is the need off the hour.

Daily Durato between hwh-tvc ??

Yes also it should be Over Night(with Top Speed)

first overni8 duronto can come between MAS TVC then we talk about HWH TVC overni8 duranto

Durunto.. then it will be another WHITE WASHED WHITE Elephant... A Superfast express Via VSKP will be enough..

Expecting a super fast or AC train is much better than so called fashion Duronto everywhere.

white washed white elephant means what?

a white elephant being white washed.. Already there are not much passengers travelling entirely travelling from TVC to Kolkatta... So it will be a white elephant.... Most people travel till VSKP or enroute as there are lots of malayalies staying in between ,
Now if its being AC Durunto and Daily.. it will be like white washing the White elephant.. :P

Yes white washed white elephant with 'fair and white ' cream....

Very good train. All 7 days of the slot should by used for running trains from SRC to various destinations in South India to cater to the rush.

i understood. thanks for ur kind explanation. even i too feel durunto is unnecesssary between HWH TVC. a regular super fast is sufficient

Flurry of trains being started from santragachi recently...most of the trains can be used for good connectivity to southern states.Also good for VSKP getting more connectivity options.

Right you are Appukkutta. An SF with limited stops can better cater to Malayalis living in Bhubaneswar, VSKP, BZA, and many other towns/cities on the route instead of a DURONTO.

the problem is that there is not much passengers directly to HWH. This can be observed in Shalimar TVC express. Duruntos will be hit in small distances but not big.. Already one (ERS NZM)is running as white.. but black in peak timings..

yes sir...hope they will continue this special for more time.
I expected VSKP-Kollam special will be continued but i think SR or SCR not accepted.

yes i also agree no durunto needed for very long distances. i think weekly durunto is needed between TVC MAS/MS instead TVC HWH etc

Hope we can see the soon running of the TVC MAS/MS Durunto. With the introduction of TVC-MS/MAS Durunto, The railways should allocate more seats in different Quotas as more passengers travelling all the way from TVC to MAS will prefer Durunto. So if more seats are alloted to other Quotas, they too wont feel the pressure of WL. This should happen in all the three trains ie. Ananthapuri express, MAS Mail as well as MAS SF

other 3 trains difficult but in durunto we can get rid of it. and a night train to velankanni/nagore is needed from TVC so that pressure or load on ananthapuri get reduced.

loot all trains of IR and take all new trains to bengal.

Nice train as per demand

Most probably this will be 3rd Vivek Express to Kerala n subsequently MAQ Vivek also will convert into Bi weekly

Its a much required train..that to special train only

Joke of the century.....

this train is a great boon to the people....

Excellent Train and timings.

My bad...I actually meant SF .But since there have been many discussions about WHITE ELEPHANTS,I involuntarily typed Duronto.

for the correction of such mistakes is the tool option called EDIT. :D

This is not applicable for errors made in the exam answer sheets :)

Haha.Good point.But I should let you know that I have TRIED to EDIT,but without much success :)

ha ha good said,sir

yeah!

A connection to Mangalore was badly required.. Hope it picks up patronage, and gets converted to bi or tri-weekly..

Yes Pradyu.
Just Wow.

Yes...

Great...
