Tamilnadu Express: தமிழுக்கு அனைத்து இடமுண்டு, அதேபோல் தமிழ்நாடு அதிவிரைவு ரெயிலிற்கு அதிக முன்னுரிமையுண்டு. அதிவிரைவு இரயில்களுக்கு எல்லாம் முன்னோடி தலைவர் - Sakthivel Srinivasan

No one can be sure whether KR will get merged to SWR, but I feel that maintaining separate identity would be better. MAQ to PNVL with branch lines from MAJN-HAS, MAO-VSG and MAO-LD should be given to KR. MYS divn is geographically vast area and they cannot manage properly. HAS-MAJN out of MYS divn and scrapping of HMRDA will definitely improve the situation. Also, entire Mangalore region under one zone will make the things better for MAQ. To compensate to SR, BYPL-SA line can be handed over to SR/ SA divn.
Another feeling is that SWR's divn bifurcations to be re-cast. MYS divn extends upto UBL (excl) and all branch lines CMGR, SMET/ Talaguppa, JRU-Rayadurga (excl), HRR-Harapanahalli and HAS-MAJN apart...

from MYS-CMNR. SBC divn is upto JTJ, upto SA excl, DMM excl apart from few branch lines. UBL divn has juristriction upto MRJ excl, upto VSG, upto BAY, upto HG excl, and few branch lines. I think the whole arrangement needs re-casting and trimming properly with creation of MAQ divn under KR.
With SCR getting truncated, I feel GR can be with SCR as a new divn for proper development of region. Else, GR-BIDR area will get neglected by SWR and SCR.
