Removed. May you know the original inaugural date, pl inform us.

now does showing date is wrong. thanks for removed

please do remove for 17226 also... :-)

Done.

Updated...

WAM4 from BZA to GNT just for 30 mins run and loco change at GNT,better run it with Diesel from BZA and reduce halt time at GNT...

Is there loco shed in BZA?

No. Only WAGS and WAMS.

yes it is there.
WAp 4 I think is newly added but no WAP 7 I think. It has WAG 7 I thinkk.

There are WAG9s also in BZA. But what about WAP4, WAP7?

17225 is a SCR train and it is tri weekly on M,Th,Sat.
it shares time slot with 18047 HWH - VSG amravati(a SER train) i.e M,T,Th,Sat it means from BZA to UBL Monday,Thursday,Saturday-17225 and Tuesday,Wednesday,Friday,Sunday - 18047
17225 Which reaches UBL @10.30am on Tu,Fr,Sun will start from UBL on Wed,Sat,Mon at 12.15pm.
Hope it is clear

As of now with this train, both the ends are not in beaches:(

Yep, hope t he extension takes place and from 02 50 hours from BZA towards VSKP, its relatively free other than those by passing trains.

Extension only to vskp or both sides i.e vskp to vasco

I missed to say that. it should be extended to Vasco on the other side.

That will be good then VSKP to Vasco BIWEEKLY could be very good

Its already triweekly and let it be continued in the same way.
Hope SCR agrees this time and ECoR makes no noise.

But as of now, it is sharing the time slot of HWH-VSG express and its easier if they can extend. Even Hyderabad will get a daily connectivity to VSG through slip coaches.

If at all extended it could be to CCT from BZA this is being doing rounds for long & other end to Vasco will also connect two beaches :)

CCT is easy as it comes under SCR.

And SER is adamant to make this run via VSKP.

This is in demand every time budget comes up but never turned in to reality..

COA was having a problem and the new stn opened now to accommodate more trains.

Oh ok....Now will ECoR allow to provide motherly treatment if extended?

ECoR will be ECoR as usual, its G R E A T.

No surprise even if its made as BBS-VSG/UBL one fine day:)

It would become the same by finding a suitable slot of silly train which starts from BBS. All USED stuff for VSKP :(.
Be it be rakes, trains or even SLOTS.

The COA Station which was bit far from CCT before has been brought bit more closer and the space created is being used for accommodating more trains in yards..

Add to it a very feeble Quota for VSKP but more to DVD & SCM

Thats ok, we will propaganda through various media. All we need is the train entering VSKP.

ECor will not make any noise if it is extended to bbs which we never want

I wanna hear - Visakhapatnam out of ECoR....ASAP.

You'll hear RISE AND FALL ECOR too :)
--
If VSKP is separated, then a book can be written.
ECoR - Before VSKP and after VSKP.

hi

wow I think VSKP to VSG will be good connectivity. let us wait and see how ECOR will take initiative ;-)

Welcome to the asylum........brother. ;) It's total mad house in here but we all manage to have a bit of fun.

Recently heard news that Bansal is giving positive move for creation of seperate zone he asked if railways have enough land for new zone and Pallam raju is also supporting. So how many people are expecting new zone in coming budget?

Its the opp news in todays AP media. Creating new zone requires lot of revenue. Why? No idea. May be for establishing everything.
But,merger with SCR Is easy and profitable is what it says.

one solution for all problems start a train from
vskp-vasco via ru/pgt/maq/madgaon/vasco
i knew its little bit tt is long but solve all problems!

So....is merging a strong possibility,dude?? Or it's still "more - no" than "more - yes" ??

Strong possibility and we are working to keep this on top everyday everywhere. Its more of YES only as of now.

Me 2 I dont want to hear vskp in ECoR AT ALL

I hope all your and everyone's efforts pays off.

Ya even I support merger with SCR but onemore article I have read is they are saying they will divide SCR's BZA division and with VSKP a new division is proposed. But I feel SCR is the best division in IR (my opinion) so I feel till CHE it should be added in SCR rather splitting it to new zone

Once Waltair division comes under SCR Zone all things will start falling in place later can think of divisions..

Meeru appudu SBC Raj ki vesinatlu oka script ready cheyyandi deenamma jeevitam debbaki VSKP SCR loki vachestundi :)

em script anna adi SBC Raj ki?

Ado pedda story daani taravaata chala pedda naatakam jarigindi..Search chesi chusta sure ga share chestanu..

Me 2 doesn't want vskp to be in ECoR no more AT ALl

Writing has stopped long ago.

So GOA gets more trains...Congrats guys

SC-GOA train is going to become reality sonn.

yes, SC-Manglore exp via Vasco is ideal one.
but i think the problem with bus lobby.

One definite train from GOA.

Great news. Thanks for sharing. BTW what is IRTTC ?

Great. Thanks for sharing.

If this Rajdhani takes 31 hrs 30 min, then for travel from Mao to Delhi, I would prefer TVC Rajdhani or Goa SK which are faster. Also have you factored the low speed between LD and Mao on account of Braganza?

Sir,there is no IRCTTC in Railways(similar to IRCTC)..Guest must be referring to IRTTC(Indian Railways Time Table Conference).Last year it was organised by CR at Pune in Jan
click here

Raam,It is Conference:)

Owch!! thanq for correction sire ji!! :-)

No problem Raam.I too came to know just now from Googlebhai :)

please let us know proposals from railway zones

Sorry!!Last time it was organized at secunderabad.

The Pune one was in Jan 2011, so SEcunderabad one may have been in January 2012

It was Puri but not Pune in Jan 2011

Times of India was my source click here What is yours?

You mean to say VSG(SWR) or MAO(KR) which zone ?

Dont know.I refer to this PIB release click here

Your source pl?

Sir,it was at Pune January 2011 as per above PIB release as per link
goo.gl/N9fUM.It cant be wrong ,as it is an official release
And TOI(as per your link) also confirms

true, TOI also said the same. Anyway it is not very critically important information

YEs..I agree as it is not vital
