2785/Σ Okha-Kolhapur ΣChain

When this train used to leave Okha at 12:25 before ZBTT, I observed almost nine years ago that the Okha Saurashtra Mail's rake would arrive in Rajkot at 17:15. Slip coaches from Veraval would be attached in Rajkot and it would halt for half an hour. This was perfect timing for daily passengers from the Rajkot Viramgam section.

Now that it departs at 11:05 from Okha, they should introduce a MEMU/passenger train in that timing from RJT to VG/MSH.

Many passenger trains were cancelled and a few train timings were changed in the Okha ADI section. Hopefully, they will restore some of them after the RJT KNLS OKHA doubling is complete.

Jab yeh train ZBTT se pehle OKHA se 12.25 pe jaati thi, tab maine lag bhag 9 saal pehle dekha tha, Okha Saurashtra Mail ka rake Rajkot pe 17.15 pe pahunchta tha, Veraval se slip coaches Rajkot pe attach kiye jaate the, aur aadha ghanta rukta tha. Yeh Rajkot Viramgam section ke daily passengers ke liye perfect timings tha.

Ab yeh OKHA se 11.05 pe jaati hai, toh unhe is timings pe RJT se VG/MSH ke liye ek MEMU/passenger introduce karna chahiye.

Bahut saare passengers cancel ho gaye aur kuchh trains ke timings bhi OKHA ADI section me change kiye gaye. Umid hai ki RJT KNLS OKHA doubling complete hone ke baad woh kuchh trains ko restore karenge.
