Agree... Arrival at MAS should be 0630am as earlier...0745 is too late..

அந்த தொடர் வண்டியில் பயணிக்க வேண்டும் என்று ஆசை தான். ஆனால் அந்த வண்டியில் நான் பயணிக்கவில்லை. இதற்கு அருகில் உள்ள நடைமேடையில் புறப்பட இருந்த செம்மொழி விரைவு வண்டியில் பயணித்தேன்.

That is the primary purpose of the train. E2E people first preference already shifted to Ananthapuri. Ernakulam to kollam people are prefering mail. so it have concentrated halt pattern here. Hope Ananthu speeds up furthur after TVC NCJ doubling and arrives kollam before mail. so that kollam preference also might goto ananthapuri and kollam mail. so that it can be cochin mail forever.
Well when there are two trains, namely MAS TVC SF exp and SF Mail, can't they adopt an alternative stoppage? Say one stops in Chengannur the other can skip it and stop in Changanassery. We can save considerable amount of time like this. Does every train need to stop for every 10 kms? There is a high need of an MPS increase in Kerala especially the south. I know the route has a lot of curves and 80 can be the max speed but I do believe significant amount of speedup can be done provided frequent halts are removed. I strongly believe ERN TVC can be done with 3.5 hours if this frequent halts are removed and a little MPS upgrades are done.
if both trains are back to back what u saying will be correct. For example: Blue mountain and Cheran can equally split the stops as they are almost back to back. Yercaud present for intermediate beyond ED. Here the caterance and timing difference is too much. so kind of early arrival and late arrival so it will be very tough to reduce the stoppages. What u said can be applied with TBM NCJ SF and Ananthu reducing halts in NCJ-MDU section and sharing loads equally once it becomes daily. Even though MAS ALLP present for ernakulam I dont think load split will work for 12695/6 & 12623/4 as their caterance is totally difference. On the case of TBM KCVL regularised to daily (alternatively TBM SCT can be made daily and extended to KCVL) and MS kollam mail extended to KCVL what u said can be done between VPT and KCVL....

Then they should leave the frequent halting patterns to MEMU trains and let Express trains run like Express trains. While long distance trains can have this pattern, it doesn't make sense to have both trains running in the same route end to end have similar halts. MAS TVC SF already has more halts in TN so a decrease in halts for that or TVC Mail should be implemented in my opinion.
I am sorry I cant understand what you try to meant by the line MAS TVC SF already have more halts in TN. It is the only balanced kind of halt pattern compared to very unbalanced stoppage pattern of mail. How any one can justify Ananthapuri stopping pattern with halts at paravur, varkala, neyyatinkara skipping Ariyalur, Manaparai? I want to hear from you what would be the ideal halt pattern for express, SF, Passenger in one stretch. What need tobe the halt pattern of madurai punalur express/passenger for balanced one?.

Exynos9611~ 23334 blog postsI guess current TT has slowed down the train....This used to take much lesser time earlier and was a very popular connection train from Kerala for those who wanted to board Coromandal Express from Chennai. Lot of people especially from the defence forces used to use this train from KL towards Chennai and then board Corpmandal exp on their way to Eastern and NE parts. Now this connection no longer works as Coro departure has been preponed.
Should be rerouted via PTJ bypass again. 12601/02 would be more useful for CBE instead. 12683/84 even more so.
Kerala needs it own daily to HWH apart from Vivek. It's too much hassle to transit via MAS like in the past.

Ideally SHM-TVC (bi-weekly) & SHM-NCJ (weekly)...both use same slots I think. If made daily can be of some relief but other trains use this path so if a new train is needed a new slot would have to be formulated. Kolkata is connected to all states in the country through daily trains with probably the only exception being Kerala !!!
I doubt this train is 122 years old. Because there was no BG line beyond Shoranur towards TVC at that time.
