The controlling of BZA division is quite quirky...
Yesterday i travelled in CBE Jaipur from MAS to BZA. Circar got regulated before washermanpet itself hence line was clear
By the time Jaipur exp...
more... reached Gudur (by 19.35), Seshadri was on PF ready to depart..Controllers allowed seshadri to depart and gave OT only in Chirala...till that time Jaipur exp which does not have any halts after nellore was crawling behind.
The lineup towards TEL & BZA was like Ypr HWH ( 1 hr delay), Simhapuri, Padmavati, MAS HYB, Seshadri, Jaipur exp, Narayanadri and goes on....
The delay of almost half an hour at nellore and ongole for home zone trains simhapuri & padmavati came down to 5 to 10 mins when they reached BZA...
But CBE Jaipur reached BZA by 40 mins delay...the delay for this train was high as it has very less runtime between MAS nd BZA (5 hrs 45 mins approx) and was regulated to run behind seshadri till Chirala
Had it been given OT of Seshadri and MAS HYB at Nellore & Ongole...train would have reached exactly 10mins behind padmavati, and can occupy same PF too
Iam not understanding 2 things here...
1. when Train cannot reach the stations at the given time i feel almost 50% of this ZBTT is not making sense
2. Why zones and divisions agreed for this revision when they cannot regulate the trains accordingly...
GT suppossed to OT Charminar before BZA and again have to be overtaken by Charminar before warangal...People who have lesser knowledge on trains think that GT reaches BZA before Charminar hence lets book GT (late dep at MAS and early arrival at BZA)...but reality was..from the date ZBTT applied i saw GT arrival some 15 times in BZA and in all the times Charminar reached BZA before GT and GT was reaching BZA with an avg delay of 10 to 15 mins
I felt good and happy that BZA div is giving priority to trains of home zone...but it might result in impacting the same SCR trains in other divisions too...
What ever i said above is just a view on what i personally experienced in my last journey...not to oppose something or some way of doing
