CAPE MS SF was having RSA with Island once upon a time. TN people hated it cause Island arrival at CAPE is always late and that delays the prestigious CAPE MS SF. Also its maintained badly cause PM is done only every 3 days. So people complaint raised a lot which eventually before they converted the rake to LHB , they cancelled the RSA and CAPE MS SF started to have RSA with Pearl City and Island stand alone rake !

I think its extended to kochuveli cause it stands idle

in Nagercoil for more than 11 hours. Not going to delay Seshadri cause of its extension cause its just 75 kms. But SR/SWR needs to come up with their own set of rakes instead of using SCR rake. But defnitely not Island again lol.

It all depends upon how well the rakes are maintained by respective cdo's.. In current scenario, even seshadri's rake is maintained once in 4 days only... in other words seshadri has 4 rakes and 1 rake is maintained daily at Kakinada.. As Kakinada's maintenance is decent enough, people of ncj /SR are nt complaining..

Similarly, even if RSA is established between island and sbc ncj (extension to cape can be considered in order to eradicate lay over time and enable rake switch), the combo needs 4 rakes and 1 rake can

be maintained daily at Sbc as is being done now for seshadri exp

sbc cape island exp

20:10 (sbc) 15:05 (cape)

cape ncj sbc / svmb exp

18:40(cape) 19:10 (ncj) 9:10 (sbc / svmb)

svmb/sbc ncj cape exp

17:15 (svmb/sbc) 7:40 (ncj) 8:10 (cape)

cape sbc island exp

10:10 (cape) 6:40 (sbc)

pros:
1) currently island exp is having large idling time at both sbc and cape ends. idling time at cape can be completely eradicated.
2) no additional burden on sbc / cape / svmb
3) efficient utilisation of rakes.. 4 rakes in place of 5 required for these pair of trains.
4) scr will be out of picture for sbc ncj between swr and sr.
5) seshadri exp will be free for rsa with other scr trains.
