Tamil Nadu Express - தங்களை அன்புடன் வரவேற்கிறது - Swaroop Kutti

You won't see for sure...as long as RB won't give importance to this ghat...SWR is least bothered to consider about VSG...because that very own chat section is already being fully utilized ..and day by day its capacity is bring weakned which is forcing RB to decrease the capacity to 20 coaches ..

no where near to thr regular goods load you see everywhere else ..
Do you think SWR can introduce train just like that without approval from RB ? It is RB who dictates terms to every zone depending on many factors..if RB is not interested to lose any goods traffic by intoeucing a passenger train..then why SWR will show interest..
This new train also came after a long and long an dprolonged fight by SCR ..even this was also not intended to go this way..but SCR made it possible with consistent appeals to RB ..
If there is a mechanism to ask RB directly why its allocating SWR money to strengthen these chat sections and introduce new trains ..then some improvement may happen..otherwise ..no point of discussing about this ghat section ...nothing will come out if we fight here...better fight with the RB for same intensity to see things happening in VSG favour ..

Also regarding goods traffic numbers have come...

down due to mining ban but loads of an individual rake I don't think so infact coal imports are increasing yearly at MPT almost all of which is being moved by BOXN rakes via the Ghats. And no rakes are filled fully as they were earlier. I don't see any BOXN running with half loaded Wagons. All are filled as they were used to be earlier and in other sections too.
