What is the use?.Even if doubling of entire stretch between Mangalore and TVM is completed,Malabar Express will continue to follow same TT when it was introduced!!!so is others.SR seldom cares for time wasted.

I would like to get a clarification regarding TDR from experts to an issue happened with me.I booked two SL tickets in Mangala Express thru IRCTC on two consecutive days(7th and 8th) from Kawar to Thrissur in last February.The departure time for Mangala from Karwar as per timetable is 2038 hrs.On 7th,Mangala was late and arrived Karwar at 0015(of 08/02).So I applied for TDR at 0040 hrs (after maintenance time(2330-0030hrs) for IRCTC) claiming that train was late.I believed that I can file TDR only if train was late by more than three hrs.Same thing repeated with my 08/02 ticket also.That was also filed for for TDR with same reson.To my shock, both TDRs were rejected.Their reply I quote"
we regret to...

In my case as you people told,TDR time started from 0015 hrs(when Mangala actually left Karwar) and I was well within 2hrs time frame(I filed TDR at 0040hrs) for filing TDR. I will get RTI filed and get the departure time of Mangala at Karwar station on 07/2&08/02.Let us see what happens.

Travelled in this train on 30/08 from Thrissur to Karwar.Train arrived Thrissur at 2050 hrs aganist a scheduled time of 2000 hrs,reached Shornur at 2130 hrs.At Kozhikkode it arrived 10 min before time.Kannur it reached 0005 hrs,waited for 20 minutes for scheduled departure.Mangalore this train arrived at 0200hrs,30 minutes before time.It departed 5 min late at 0245 hrs and reached on time at Udupi at 0345 hrs.Finally my destination, Karwar,eventhough its scheduled arrival time was 0658 hrs,this beast made home at 0625 hrs,almost 35 minutes in advance. I could cover the journey in just 9hrs 30 min, which is unimaginable during monsoon time in Konkan.I will give excellent rating as far as speed is concerned.Really Rajadhani class train in terms of speed.Kudos to locopilots,even during showers they maintained top speed.If given free hand, journey time can further be reduced with proper time management.Only problem is,most of the coaches are grand...
