If coro is nearly on time then get down at SRC and get cab, fare can be around 350-400 rs .
Prepaid taxi also available.
But buffer time is not enough in my opinion.

Hmmm..keeping fingers crossed. Should get my plan B as well. Actually I had to book in Coromandel as 12509 was cancelled on that day
Check the dep of HWH Chennai mail on 24th night at HWH if it's rescheduled then coromondal will also be late and will alter your plans be prepared before itself for options. Coromondal usually arrives 60 mins late at 1130. Many trains are cancelled regulated this week and next week due to NI iperations at BBS and GDR. Track the schedule of 23rd dep of Coromondal from Chennai. The rake link is 23rd Coro at MAS, 24 th Mail HWH, 26th Coro MAS to arrive on 27th HWH.
I m tracking the daily updates and also have kept a backup train from HwH
Hi all.. any idea which platform MAS SHM Coromandel arrives at Sangtragachi and Shalimar

Just read about the Pawan exp incident. passengers reported that sound started coming as soon as train departed MFP. How the rolling hut employee missed it? Strange.
How can you blame IR and Railway minister? They are not responsible for running railways, safety of rail passengers and other railway related tasks!!!
Makes you wonder how seriously the man/woman stationed at the rolling hut was taking his/her job seriously! Anyways the fault here cannot be placed fully on a single employee per-se...
The built quality of new LHB coaches are horrible. Previously, whenever I used to travel in a LHB train, I was stress free about the safety of the train. New fear has been unlocked after this train accident disaster.

DanielSebastian~ 4369 blog postsI feel like the standardization of Rakes and decrease of Sleeper coaches has caused a lot of confusion and issues. Not to mention the cramped up coaches with Unreserved passengers, causing an inconvenience to reserved passengers. As a result, I have a solution up my sleeve that might work, please provide any suggestions as follows.
1) We know that there are two dedicated trains running between MAS and HWH with huge crowds, each 22 coaches.
2) These trains can be split into 3 trains, 2 16 Coaches with all AC coaches with SF...

I feel like this is the only solution to checking this stuff. If they see that the train is completely AC, unreserved passengers won't board the train. You don't see unreserved people boarding in fully AC trains or Rajdhanis. Also, what about phasing out all General coaches and having only reserved coaches for Express trains. Passenger train can have some coaches but they as well should have reserved seating. The shorter rakes was keeping in mind that eventually semi high speed infrastructure will make its way in this section. I'm expecting atleast 160 KMPH which calls for shorter rakes and fully AC trains.
I was thinking about keeping 2 SL and 3 GS but converted to 2S ie. second class reserved for these trains coz atleast by paying a slightly higher premium fare in the form of SF surcharge even those who can't afford an AC fare can enjoy some higher speed and priority but SF surcharge should be higher than present as a percentage and not fixed amount.
But if your idea is to upgrade trains to 160kph then definitely you will have to keep the rakes shorter so non AC coaches are out of the equation.

Yes, according to what I suggested, they should be separated into a normal Mail service with Gen and SL coaches and another full fledged AC SF Express. Both can be 16 Coachers. This will also help in clearing huge wait lists as there are additional coaches.
Also some M/E are on the borderline of being a SF with some speed up they can be converted to SF.
But for additional trains to be run we will require much more railway lines then present. That issue need to be tackled too.
Need more DFCs to decongest tracks, then doubling, tripling, quadrapling should be undertaken on more routes. White elephants be it premium or non premium should be discontinued. Instead of adding VBs on every route they should try to replace Shatabdis with VB rakes. In routes like Mumbai...

I think a new category should be created like premium sf express in which avg speed should be around at least 60kmph with fully reserved coaches and sf surcharge flat 200 rupees till 1000 km and after that 400 rupees this way those who want premium and faster service can go with it and i also think all mail express should be converted to sf especially those who have avg of 52kmph and also with these ir should run non ac specials on demanding routes with cc some what like 12 sl 8gs and 2 slr in icf and in. Lhb around 11 sl and 8 gs 1 slr 1 eog ir should charge special fare for these trains and only allow arp of 1 month this way they will remain occupied also arp for all trains should get cut down to 2 month
