That's what I'm saying if MAS terminating train shifted to MS no one will object but why diverting MAS trains that too weekly bi weekly trains can SR divert Sanghamitra via PER..?
Sangha diversion is impossible. Dailies are given more preference than weeklies and bi-weeklies.
Sorry to contradict you. 3:50 AM is when the congestion begins. Out of the 12 platforms at MAS, 4 cant be used by trains as 1,2,2A are not long enough for 24 coaches. At 3:50 HWH Mail arrives on PF.No.8 after which it remains there without going to yard till it departs as Coromandel. Now considering the earlier timings, all these forementioned trains used to depart from MAS at around 4:05. Now from 4:05 AM, daily trains start arriving. Already they wait at BBQ/PER home for clearance. And mostly some arrive early. They need to wait for these trains which undergo reversal to clear the lines. Even if somehow a platform is got for weeklies, the problem is they get delayed terribly. They often arrive late by atleast an hour or more during peak hours at MAS. This eventually affects train movement( and also EMU movement towards GPD when they arrive...

As per your logic each every passing train should be be diverted it's better to restrict MAS for only terminating trains so that these high profile terminating trains wont get delayed due to these poor one or two weekly connecting trains for so many people of north east.
I didnt mean every passing train. I mean only those trains that arrive during peak hours. YPR PPTA and Bagmati undergo reversal at MAS. They do not arrive at peak hours. MAS is highly choked from 4AM to 8AM and 7PM to 11 PM And terminating trains dont mean they are high profile. They get more preference than weeklies. And PER is not outside the city. Only trains in one slot have been diverted. There are still 12 pairs of weeklies,dailies and biweeklies that touch MAS. PER is easily accessible from other parts of Chennai.
