Agree:Exactly..130 MPS...🤔 run faster...
The entire stretch between MAS and BZA is strengthened for 130 kmph, I believe.

This train should cover the entire stretch in 5 hours. Even the crawler GT Express with 5 intermediate stops covers the distance in 6 hours.

Agree:All points... agreed...👍👍
As expected it is taking a detour via RU. Its not a train from MAS - BZA pax.
Its a train for RU - BZA - RU people.

MAS pilgrims will now get a late evening departure from RU to reach MAS on the same day. But morning departure from MAS can be made 6.30 AM or 7 AM.

At least this train should have started from TBM or MS to make it accessible for South Chennai.

Extending MAS BZA to SC may require two rakes as same day return may become impossible.

But when VSKP TPTY VB is introduced, this train shall be rerouted and rescheduled.

the media were projecting, I was expecting this to be a SCR rake with morning departure from BZA. But if it was the case then then there will be two VBs back to back in same route.

Re# 5770317-2              
I doubt that this train will get restored. They have formed a new RSA for this train from UBL (UBL TJ Special Fare) , and they will not leave this rake.

I guess there is not much pressure also from any passenger forums for restoration of this train also.

Still no official PR from SCR or SR or even from Railway ministry. The media just copies and pastes the same content. I am curious to see whether this VB will have a reversal at Katpadi, if they are going to run this via Katpadi....

Also, if this train will have commercial run from 8th July, then by this time it should be reflecting in IRCTC portal. I guess the first day commercial run not have very good occupancy rate if the timings and even the introduction is still kept

This is the only Rajdhani from a metro city which is a biweekly. All other Rajdhanis are daily train. Mumbai (3), Calcutta (2) and Bangalore(1).

Is the patronage not that good for this train as it leaves very early from Chennai or air fares are competitive for this route.

This train is of high demand as always it runs into WL as soon as the booking starts. It serves as day connection from Chennai to Delta districts, and night connection from Delta to Tiruchendur.

Any platform constraints down south, for this train still runs with 18 coaches.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
