Excess E-Locos with SR??!!
-
But SWR SBC division person said the other day that there is shortage of E-Locos so not all trains on SBC-MYS route will get E-Locos. Another cooked reason was loco change time, which is misleading since all trains stop for atleast 10 mins at SBC, so no issue of lack of time for changing locos.

SBC-GTL
...

route too many trains (plying via GY) can be given E-Locos. But just for 3 E-Locos are given.
-
If not willing to give to SWR, then SR can atleast give its own trains 16340, 16332, 16614 E-Locos between ED and GTL, with some time adjustment at GTL for loco change.

Slightly misleading report. Its possible the goods locos are underused but certainly not WAP4s and WAP7s. ED P4s are massively used at ERS, TVC, SRR, MDU,TPJ, TN,NCJ,CBE, ED, MAS,MS,SBC,YPR. And of course numerous supply of ED and RPM locos to SWR and SCR trains. SWR simply blames lack of locos whereas the reality is they can't get the substations ready soon to let more trains use eloco.

Yes on MYS route still substations are not ready.
-
The Someshwara substation on YNK-GTL route is ready I think. So only Prashanti and Prashanti Nilayam got E-Locos (apart from loco reversal at GTL factored in). But still KK, Udyan etc... haven't got due to shortage, I guess.

Also

SWR simply needs an ELS (as discussed in /blog/post/2173216) or atleast KJM DLS needs to be converted for holding E-Locos too.
-
Other zones like SCR, SR will first see to that their trains get E-Locos and then give surplus to SWR.
Ex: GTL-HUP passenger gets an E-Loco on the same route where other Exp/SF trains don't. I am not against that train getting an E-Loco, but just pointing out that SCR first uses available locos for their trains and then sends surplus (or if told by RB) to SWR.
-
P.S.: Some locos of SR (AJJ ex-ED) and SCR (BZA ex-LGD) that come to SWR look like they have seen better days :)
