Why does SR always want to give away its trains to other zones? Dont they even have the capacity to run a dedicated train with their own rake to CAPE from MS? Its the passengers who will be affected if Island Exp is delayed.
-
What will SR try to achieve by delinking the rakes of PC and MS-CAPE? Pathetic to see the way the zone is functioning. They didnt even care to build a pitline at CAPE and decongest NCJ.

SR has the habit of riding on shoulders of SWR. Still after 20 years also, they think it is SBC MYS division job to run from Bangalore to Cape, Mayiladuthurai, Karaikal, Kannur, etc. They are not running any train to inside Karnataka.
Plus delay is attributed to SWR. What is this 😳
Let SWR run it's train to CAPE and take it back via MDU SA HSRA daily. This will give another faster train from south TN to Bangalore

TVC Division using CAPE and NCJ as dump yard of unwanted extensions, similarly PGT Division MAQ as dump yard. CAPE and NCJ has to be with MDU, also MAQ has to be with Mysuru division so that it can cater the needs of the respective place passengers.

SWR ubl div is also running weekly trains to SR areas. Most of the trains in sbc div run to SR be it TN or KL. SR should stop exploiting other zones and being bigger zone with lot of spare coaches should run trains into Ka towns rather then stopping at sbc area.

Re# 6058852-29              
Now, SWR should ask for trains to SWR area on reciprocal basis. Demand trains from Trichy/ Velankanni/ Mayiladuthurai/ Puducherry/ Rameshwaran/ Madurai/ Nagercoil to Ballari/ Hubli/ Vijayapura/ Bagalkot/ Hassan/ Shivamogga.
Let some SR trains pass through SWR area to CR/ SCR/ WR area. Like Mangalore to Hyderabad/ Vijayawada/ Solapur/ Pune. Or say from Coimbatore to Ahmedabad/ Jaipur via Bangalore, Hubli.

I came across this information on a WhatsApp group today afternoon that actually as per schedule it was this train which was supposed to cross 12841 at the accident spot yesterday but since train was delayed at Kulem itself it did not. Inspite of LHB we saw severely high number of casualties if this was ICF Amaravati express I'm pretty afraid situation would have been pretty worse than this. Such a long distance and always full running train still running with dirty and old ICF rakes only because 2 pathetic zonal egoes between SCR and SWR in cancellation of KCG VSG slip. To hell with Goa Hyderabad connectivity safety of VSG SHM passengers is much much more important. It's high time now this pathetic crappy slip is cancelled and Amaravati is LHBfied.

i think if slip gets cancelled passengers will demand new train from Goa to Hyderabad, and clearly SWR wouldn't do that, so keeping the slip alive is the only way for them.

No way lives of people matter more than this shitty third class slip. How hypocrites are Indian Railways on one hand they discontinued slip citing safety reasons and why continue this. What is Amaravati was on time and it had met the fate of 12864 ?? It's ICF would have caused much more severe damage.
