Need suggestions/opinions,
Former Meenatchi Express, now Rameswaram express is running towards TPTY for decades, but frequency remains minimal even now. Multiple requests have been made but it remains the same. Now coming to the point, Adding a rake to this train may make this train a daily train, but Adding two rakes to this train can make this train a daily operational train along with his RSA Partner RMM-CAPE. It's not ending here, Apart from this two daily trains, like @jigarthanda bro's img train/blog/post/5847799 , a daily train from CAPE/TEN to TPTY is also getting true. With this, South TN's Essential daily connection to TPTY also gets fulfilled along with much needed proper South TN connectivity to TNM, TRK & VLR.
...
more...

To conclude, this can make three daily trains possible and Entire Chord line and Mainline will have TPTY connectivity for lifetime.
What do you think guys? Correct me, if I'm wrong and Any other ideas?

No both are different slots. Intercity slot is having slot sharing with SMVT triweekly.

1. Doubling line capacity of TPTY KPD should be done on priority basis but it's not in hands of SCR it's with allocation of funds by RB and it's priorities( cargo lines better attention due to revenue from coal)
2. frequency increase of both RMM bound trains to be made daily
3. Sapthagiri already has RSA with Tirupati Chennai during midday and cannot be cancelled and same rake does 2 trips in a day.
4.

Couldn't understand RSA as it arrives at Tirupati COA arrives in morning and leaves late night though PM shifted still it has to stabled at Tirupati. They are planning for RSA with another train at Kakinada.
5. PGT TpTY PM should be in PGT as they are many trains in TPTY for PM
6. Coimbatore intercity along with SMVT should be made daily with PM at respective ends.
7. Mangalore Tirupati ok can be run upto Renigunta but 3 days via Hassan
8. VB should be short terminated at Tirupati as it's getting occupancy from Tirupati then Chennai and only on Saturday Sunday and holidays other 4 days hardly 30-50% between RU and Chennai.

1268 agreed.
3 MEMU can made to replace the those services. PM can be done in TPTY.
4. Stabling can be done in nearby stations maintainence is whole different thing
5.PGT has only MEMU shed cant maintain long distance trains else KCVL has to take primary maintainence (that to kollam punalur should accomadate the rake length ) so that KCVL TPTY RSA

TPTY PGT is possible
7. via hassan i dont have any objection, but capacity will be reduced due to shiradi ghats 14 coacher restriction.

4. Stabling at TPTY is probably just parking the rake against occupying a pitline in TPTY, if this RSA is given, one day slot for maintenance at TPTY pitlines will become free and pitlines at TEN are underutilised.
5. PGT doesn't have pitlines. They have only MEMU shed.
8. Instead, MAS BZA VB can be operated in shorter route and can be extended either to SC or COA or whatsoever, and a new VB can be given for TPTY VSKP, for which the demand is persisting from beginning onwards.
