Krishna Kumar 206 blog postsKannur - Yesvantpur Express/16518 shall leave Kannur at 6.25PM(18.25hrs), instead of 16.30hrs, to save 2 hours being wasted at Mangalore Central. There are some weekly/bi-weekly trains at 18.15hrs from Kannur(12997-Hapa, 12483-Amritsar, 12287-Dehradun, 12202-Garibrath, etc). All these trains are reaching Mangalore Jn before 20.30hrs. If 16518 CAN-YPR express leaves at 18.25hrs from Kannur just behind these trains, it will reach Mangalore Central before 20.35 hrs(even arrival before 20.30 hrs is possible). So, 16518 YPR express has also almost the same number of stops, with Payyannur & Kanhangad as additional, the same speed and timing can be followed for both the trains with 10 minutes interval, as 16518 has just 8 coaches and can run very fast.

If this train runs behind Parasuram, at 6PM, that also looks better. But, departure from Kannur at 6.25PM seems to be the best option.
Also, the departure time from Mangalore Central can be re-scheduled to 21.00hrs, if the train is arriving late due to unforeseen circumstances. As this train has sufficient time compensation at Hassan & Mysore, the final arrival timing at Bangalore/Yesvantpur will not be affected.
No need to adjust the CBE-MAQ FP time. For office goers Chervathur passenger and Parasu is there, which stops more places compared to16518.
No need to re-schedule at MAQ. The reaching time at SBC can be re-scheduled little early like earlier.
The combined train has around 22 coaches + additional two engines at ghat. May be difficult to add one more.
