Major route km is in SR. SR should run the train on time and the train is given lot of runtime. The gap is 3hrs and if the train is late by 2hr then it's SR fault.

hope slot of 12634 is pushed back to depart kanniyakumari at 1900 hrs permanently and to arrive at 0745 at chennai egmore so that gap is increased atleast for the existing RSA. already ananthapuri superfast is there arriving at prime slot (0605 hrs) and nagercoil - tambaram/egmore is there for four days a week to arrive at early in the morning. hoping the later to become daily soon, hope the above is done at the earliest.

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.

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.

This RSA needs to be relooked at.

17235/6 SMVB NCJ Exp would be a much better pairing train for both Island Exp and SWR alike.

Would also allow Seshadri's spare rake to

be better utilized elsewhere such as running a new daily between SMVB and VSKP or increasing the frequency of 17211/2.

MS-CAPE should be run with 2 independent rakes if SR does not prefer to restore RSA with Pearl City.

Kanyakumari express is running with 3 rakes with addition of one more rake and taking SMVT Nagercoil into RSA they can LHB fly as well as Shift PM to SMVT as morning Pitline of Sangamitra is free. Sheshadri will be free of RSA and can return from at 1300 with slight change in timings. SCR can LhB Sheshadri express as ot requires 2 rakes.
