Will it remain idle after reaching VSKP ?Close to 24 hrs, rchng Saturday afternoon & departing Sunday afternoon
Generally Ecor does everything in 1day,hope they take another day & complete
Dispute between SWR & Ecor brought idle time less than 24hrs to avoid maintenance.Hence delay & sluggish schedule
SWR is very generous, they will let their rake lest in another zone for 24 + hrs when their own zone is begging for intrazonal connectivity during this rush festive zone.
It is idle for 23 hr between arrival and dep so it is the conflict between swr and EoCR for it'd introduction. SWR wants to run train on Fri from. Bangalore and Sunday from Vskp to get full occupancy but EoCR is not ready to put the rake in vskp for more time. After it was reported on eenadu newspaper due to pressure from railway board EoCR has to bow down. One more thing they wanted to dep @1600 but its mandatory to maintain and give fitness certificate by receiving zone if the rake is there for more than 24 hrs so EoCR fixed its dep @ 1345 finally. I feel this is better dep time as it artivrs @730 KR puram now.
