All General Coaches of this train have been moved to the last side of this train when traveling from Visakhapatnam to Tatanagar. This has caused a lot of confusion among passengers traveling by General Coaches. When this train is about to arrive, passengers are unable to know whether General Coaches will be in the front side or at the last side. Even the station staff are unable to provide accurate information regarding this matter on the spot. There are several stoppages of this train, where the platform length is short and unable to accommodate the full train. In such cases, all General Coaches remain out of platform. So, those passengers who know the placement of General Coaches are also unable to climb into them. Hence all passengers taking General tickets are compelled to travel in the Sleeper Coaches. General coaches should be at both ends of the trains and their number...

should be equally distributed between both ends of the trains like before. This solves both the confusion of their placement in the train and also the problem of short platform of stations. God knows whose idea has been implemented of shifting all General Coaches to one side of the train and why.

I stayed 25 years at SGRL. Though I was not interested in trips as it was same all the time. Patna Exp, Triveni express, Shaktipunj, SGRL BPL superfast, NZM superfast were primarily used by me.

The train can be ran as KSR-Vasco panchaganga express. It really need to be extended. Needless to say it would be a connectivity not just for Bangalore people but also for chennai people if we could catch this by taking intercity or something. Vasco is also in SWR so this train could be extended easily

This has become almost the perfect train for Uttara Kanara passengers ever since it stopped going to MAQ and permanently got diverted via Kunigal. If only more coaches could be accommodated without hampering the timings.

There'd be more seats available at 16586 from Murdeshwar and 17310 from Madgaon, but most people would rather go board a train from Talguppa railway station instead.

Only meaningful alternative would be taking a connecting train with 16511/12 at Mangalore which would be slightly less time-consuming.

Wonder why there isn't similar demand like Panchaganga for 16515/16. It could be given a daily run and would help matters with getting additional infrastructure for KAWR.

Re# 6094215-32              
Sir, Answer for 16515/16 Query is exactly in your first para itself - Bypass. Anything entering Mangalore Central or Mangalore Jn. would mean lots of time consumption due to Huge yards + Zonal Changeover point from SWR to SR & SR to KR & other formalities like Reversal/Attachment/Detachment, Checks, switch lines & turnouts speed etc. Udupi & Specially Uttara Kannada People least prefer because of Huge runtime & late arrival at enroute stations in KR due to least priority. Few from Udupi District do get down at Bantawala/Kabakaputtur & switchover to Buses to reach Home earlier then train.

16515/16 would run via Padil Bypass, would definitely attract many takers from Coastal Districts of Udupi & Uttara Kannada. But that would also mean Mangalore people would lose Day Bangalore connection.

For 16515 towards Karwar, There are 3 trains ahead of it. 12134, 12620 & 10108 MEMU.

For 16516 towards Mangalore direction, 10107 MEMU stays exactly like 1or 2 block stations ahead.

If bypassed, 16515/16 Day train can be proposed to extended upto Madgaon or even Vasco if SWR agrees, No harm in that. This would also mean Vasco, Madgaon to get daily Intercity Day connectivity to Blore, South KR & Udupi, Mookambika, Subramanya, Dharmastala, Sravanbelagola & other Religious & tourist places.

Vande Bharat introduction between Bangalore & Mangalore is thought off, once Ghat section gets Electrified. They can think of bypassing 16515/16, taking opinion from All Rail Associations from Region into consideration.

There is a Abandoned 'Farangipete' Halt station within SWR limits nearby Padil bypass cabin/Mangalore Jn. & has Good Highway connectivity, just 50~100 mts from Tracks. SWR can develop it as Block station with All Good amenities, So that Mangalore people can still hop on/off all trains bypassing Mangalore area if any in future.

Re# 6094215-33              
Your opinion about Talguppa holds good. Almost Decade back, when Panchganga was non-existent & 16523/24 were running, Myself commuting to Blore from Kumta use to go to Talguppa & take 16228 to reach Blore faster & vice~versa. Even People from Byndoor/Kundapur taluks would do same.

Regarding connecting train to 16511, My opinion would be better to swap slots of 16511 with 16585, such that 16585 starts early from Blore take 16511 slot from Hassan, arrive early at Mlore & leave early towards Murudeshwar. That would also mean early arrival at Murudeshwar &

possible extension till Karwar or even till Madgaon/Vasco.

Few Coastal rail users association also suggesting Rlys to find if it is technical feasible to carry out RSA with 17309/10 Vasco Exp. Incoming Vasco Exp from Yesvantpur can leave as Vasco - SMVT Exp via Karwar & SMVT-Vasco would leave as Vasco-Yesvantpur same Night. PM can be taken either at Vasco or SMVT, making pitline free at another end.

Having more AC coaches than non AC coaches in Express trains specifically is definitely a break with the tradition. That's what I said, yes UPA government might've increased the number of AC coaches but in no way AC coaches were more than non AC coaches.

Do you even understand what I said? What can opposition use against Lalu? He kept the fares same for 5 years. Which is great as a populist measure, but unsustainable for long term financial health. Now if someone suddenly increase fares across the board, opposition will be up in arms. Applies to both sides. Even if there is a INDIA alliance govt, no one will dare to increase fares.

Well if you keep increasing, at some point no of AC coaches will be more. At start of UPA era, most trains had 2 or 3 AC, at end of 10 years UPA, most had 6-7 AC. Now after 10 years NDA most have 10-11 AC. Most premium trains introduced by UPA - Garib Rath, AC express, Duronto all max. AC.

Re# 6097795-42              
What I'm saying is since the present government did not had or have enough guts right now to increase the fare of train tickets at this time or in previous terms (when they had more than half of Lok Sabha seats single-handedly) + inflation is low than 2000s too because of the fear of retaliation they'll face from opposition.

Why do we expect Lalu to raise the fare of train tickets when he was an RM in a coalition government which lacked enough seats to make a government single-handedly. + inflation

was really high at that time. Maybe Lalu also feared retaliation from opposition or worse, a total collapse of the government.

I see double standards.

Useful Agree
That's what you aren't understanding. Before Lalu's time it was a tradition to increase fares every year by small amount. So no one would have bothered if he raised in line with earlier RMs. But he broke from tradition to stop the yearly fare increase to get political brownie points. Dinesh Trivedi tried to reinstate that tradition and got fired immediately. So now no RM would have the guts no matter if he has majority, coz he will be removed by his own party and opposition will pounce on this.
