Everywhere why all trains are slow down 5 minutes to 30 minutes.
Can we talk about Kerala TVC and PGT division and how recklessly they give halts to trains and make them fast passengers? Does every train need to stop every 6-7 KMS between KTYM and KYJ?
That is the primary purpose of the train. E2E people first preference already shifted to Ananthapuri. Ernakulam to kollam people are prefering mail. so it have concentrated halt pattern here. Hope Ananthu speeds up furthur after TVC NCJ doubling and arrives kollam before mail. so that kollam preference also might goto ananthapuri and kollam mail. so that it can be cochin mail forever.
Well when there are two trains, namely MAS TVC SF exp and SF Mail, can't they adopt an alternative stoppage? Say one stops in Chengannur the other can skip it and stop in Changanassery. We can save considerable amount of time like this. Does every train need to stop for every 10 kms? There is a high need of an MPS increase in Kerala especially the south. I know the route has a lot of curves and 80 can be the max speed but I do believe significant amount of speedup can be done provided frequent halts are removed. I strongly believe ERN TVC can be done with 3.5 hours if this frequent halts are removed and a little MPS upgrades are done.
if both trains are back to back what u saying will be correct. For example: Blue mountain and Cheran can equally split the stops as they are almost back to back. Yercaud present for intermediate beyond ED. Here the caterance and timing difference is too much. so kind of early arrival and late arrival so it will be very tough to reduce the stoppages. What u said can be applied with TBM NCJ SF and Ananthu reducing halts in NCJ-MDU section and sharing loads equally once it becomes daily. Even though MAS ALLP present for ernakulam I dont think load split will work for 12695/6 & 12623/4 as their caterance is totally difference. On the case of TBM KCVL regularised to daily (alternatively TBM SCT can be made daily and extended to KCVL) and MS kollam mail extended to KCVL what u said can be done between VPT and KCVL....

This train has a proper overnight TT b/w TATA and BSP . No other train has such a perfect TT b/w these two stations. I am surprised that despite being a crawler, not even a SL coach has been added to this.

There have been cases of even passengers/fast passengers having SL accomodation though, right? I once traveled in Lucknow - Prayag passenger a decade back and it had couple of SL coaches installed.
Earlier when this train was a pgr train it had 1 Sleeper coach. When this train got converted to express train, Sleeper coach got removed now
Many overnight passenger trains converted to Express have SL coaches added and there is a demand to add 1 - 2 3a coaches in them. 19417/8, 19425/6 have 5 SL coaches added after they were converted to express. 19209/10 also has 3 SL. Looking at journey duration of these ont passengers, AC coaches should be added in them.
Train remains empty on most occasions. One can sleep on GS berths at night.
This train runs almost empty passengers can sleep in GS coaches also. SER needs to speedup this train and add SL coaches to increase occupancy.
Otherwise it is the next train in list of SER to get permanently cancelled anyday citing occupancy reason.

No. Probably shifting of down slow line and so on for making space for 6th line between Goregaon and Borivali for through trains.
