Hi Deepak, firstly cool it with the attitude... You are nobody to demand anything from me or anyone... next time try asking without the attitude.
If RSA is used, the number of rakes needed to maintain the service come down. May not be exactly 4 but it will be less than the 8 rakes that are used on both trains. The fact that they are now arriving & departing from the same station at both ends helps in the matter reducing shunting of empty rakes around like from MMCT to BDTS and...
more... vice-versa.
For example, when a rake of 12903 arrives at ASR at 2340 hrs can depart as 12926 at 0735 hrs thus having idle time of only abt 8 hrs.
Similarly, when a rake of 12926 arrives at MMCT at 1455 hrs can depart as 12903 at 1845 hrs thus having idle time of only abt 4 hrs.
Rake of 12904 arriving at MMCT at 2335 hrs can depart at 1125 hrs next day as 12925 thus having idle time of abt 12 hrs.
To be honest, I had completely forgotten about the changed timings of 12903/04.
Under the **old time table**, 12925 arriving at ASR at 1920 hrs could have departed as 12904 at 2125 hrs having an idle time of abt 2 hrs.
So it is workable but needs more planning with rake management & scheduled maintenance procedures.
please wait...Translate to EnglishHey Deepak, first off, chill out with the attitude... You ain't nobody to be demanding anything from me or anyone else... next time, try asking without the attitude.
If they use RSA, they won't need as many rakes to maintain the service. Maybe not exactly 4, but definitely less than the 8 rakes used on both trains. The fact that they now arrive and depart from the same station at both ends helps reduce the shunting of empty rakes around, like from MMCT to BDTS and vice versa.
For example, when a rake of 12903 arrives at ASR at 2340 hrs, it can depart as 12926 at 0735 hrs, so it only has about 8 hours of idle time.
Similarly, when a rake of 12926 arrives at MMCT at 1455 hrs, it can depart as 12903 at 1845 hrs, so it only has about 4 hours of idle time.
A rake of 12904 arriving at MMCT at 2335 hrs can depart at 1125 hrs the next day as 12925, so it has about 12 hours of idle time.
To be honest, I completely forgot about the changed timings of 12903/04.
Under the old time table, when 12925 arrived at ASR at 1920 hrs, it could have departed as 12904 at 2125 hrs, so it only had about 2 hours of idle time.
So it's doable, but it needs more planning with rake management and scheduled maintenance procedures.
