Re# 1403003-17              
You please check the ticket availability in Matsyagandha and CST SF from Mangalore.Even tommorows ticket is RAC only whereas you check the availabilty in Netravati or Mangala from ERS,it is WL for more than a month.Definitely,the railways don't find the need for a premium till MAJN.Also these special premiums run very slow(speed in 40s) whereas there are two dedicated SF from MAQ/MAJN.So it is better to serve regions with less trains to Mumbai.Maybe there is a Techinical halt at MAJN(I think railways don't announce tech halts like that).We will find out after the train starts running.

Re# 1403003-18              
These special trains are supposed to cater to the addl demand in specific routes/ regions during festival/ summer/ puja/ Deepavali etc. There is nothing wrong in specifying MAJN as tech halt-- no loss to rlys and passengers are also clear that they can book till SRR and get down at MAJN withour any questions in their mind.
I agree that Kerala-Mumbai is a high demand route. If you put 10 addl trains also, they will get filled up. I am not against any of these. Kerala has demand and spl trains are introduced every year during summer, puja, christmas, sabarimala etc.
This
...
more...
does not mean that Karnataka has no addl demand towards Mumbai during summer, puja etc. Let rlys introduce spl trains from Mumbai to Karnataka towns -- Mangalore, Bangalore, Ballari etc and then gauge the sucess or failure of such trains. Not only in Konkan route, Karnataka gets zero additional trains from/ to any important towns -- be it Mysore, Shimoga, Hubballi, Ballari or Mangaluru or for that matter, any other place in karnataka. SWR which controls major part of KA is not at all (repeat not at all) interested to run any spl train towards Mumbai. They are running spl and premiums only to TN/ KL or to eastern states. CR/ SR which have their spls running through Konkan can help Karnataka passengers by providing some stops. But Karnataka pax are hoodwinked with 'Premium' concept.
As pointed out by you, instead of TEN, this spl can be terminated at KCVL/ TVC. In such a case, one stop can be given at MAJN.
If Rlys feel that TEN has much premium demand, why not they run a premium via Pune, Bangalore, Madurai with the stipulated 5 stoppages at Pune, Guntakal, Bangalore, Salem and Madurai. This will link atleast more geographical area. OR Mumbai - TEN via Pune, Guntakal, Tirupathi, Trichy and Madurai can also be thought of.

Re# 1403003-21              
I think KR means Konkan Railway means(K-KARWAR n R-RATNAGIRI), but now a days KR stand for KERALA REGION, because almost all trains stop only kerala region instead of KARNATAKA, GOA, MAHARASHTRA region.
Some trains like 22149/22150, 12484/12483, 16311/13612,12217/12218,12287/12288 there is halt in between udupi and Madgaon and also Madgaon and Panvel. Ratnagiri is very famous town Maharashtra Konkan region and also konkan railway division and same thing in Karwar also. Why rail board and Konkan Railway people not taken single risk to stop train not only almost all places in KARNATAKA, GOA, MAHARASHTRA that very helpful all the konkan people

This is the second time this is happening. Earlier a passenger train's entire coach got ripped off its base while the train was beginning to move out of ALLP station. TVC division trains are the worst maintained in the entire country. The DRM office seems to be least bothered about maintenance, as are people's representatives.
