Agree
I dont think it will go to CST. Its very recently short term to Pune and the standing time in Pune is around 1 hour and its leaving to its home statio CAPE from pune within that hour. Pushing to CST will make the railways do Secondary Maintanence at CST.

Sure TVC div - we can hope they will do it in next 10 years haha. Doubling KTYM line has never changed any trains TT. Infact TVC mail that used to arrive at 11:15 AM during single line time is now arriving at 11:45 after doubling. They gave lot of slack from Varkala to TVC

Moderator or admin, could you please change the RSA of the train to Island express and maybe with pearl city too? Thank you Please change the coach composition too. Its now running with only 7 SL, 6 3AC, 2 2AC and 1 HA1 and 3 UR.

Something strange: Even Pearl City Rake composition changed from Today's departure so I think all three trains Island, Cape and Tuticorin has RSA ?

Someone could confirm ? Thank you

SM can be done anywhere at SBC or CAPE. All indications that these 3 RSA might be on the cards

Not a good arrangement beyond saving a rake. The Island Exp rake at CAPE could be used for a new overnight service now that MDU-NCJ is FEDL.

Also there is a more prudent option to operate 17235/6 using Island's rake thereby freeing up Seshadri's rake at SMVB to operate a different service.

SR wants to take over Island and revive what was not a popular RSA with 12633/4, it should be done relieving Pearl City (could compensate by RSA with a new train or increasing the frequency of one of the trains from MS) as well as spare Bangalore CDO from secondary maintenance duties.

If Island goes to SR, SWR can insist to start from SBC at earlier schedule so that it reaches CAPE by morning and return leaves CAPE after Sunset. Will benefit lot

SR SWR should think of a SF between SBC to RMM via SA TPJ and SA MDU (tri weekly each).
Also, ONT between SBC and KIK via KPD TNM VM MV.
