The Step motherly treatment being shown by the Southern Railway Zone to Trivandrum / TVC Division, by not allotting sufficient number of new Coach variants that are required to operate their daily trains resulting in serious shortage .
.
It proved to be evident when I happened to capture the Trivandruim Kochuveli - Bangalore City Express , The train belongs to TVC Division of Southern Railways which is seen running with only One SLR ( Second Class Luggage Rake along with a Brake Van cum Guard Cabin) . Yet again a shortage of SLR coaches.
.
Usually every Express trains are attached with 2 SLR coaches one at the front end and the other at the rear end for the Guard to carry out his duties.
.
In this scenario the SLR coach needs to be detached and reversed back and forth depending on the forward direction of the moving train.
.
Hoping Southern Railways does justice by allotting sufficient new Coaches to the Zone.
