KKRAlwaysDestroyTeamIndia~ 1635 blog postsSCR must ensure RSA of Falaknuma & East Coast Express. SCR must take East Coast Express Rake from SER. East Coast Express must be converted to SF after SCR gets hold of the train, renumber the train from 18645/18646 to 22703/22704. This will help & improve Kolkata-Hyderabad Train travel very much. East Coast was SCR train in till 2007/08 having 7045/7046 number. Then it was given to SER during Number system change of IR in 2008/09. 7045/7046 East Coast Express became 18645/18646 & RSA with 18615/18616 was enforced. But currently 18645/18646 RSA with 18615/18616 was removed after LHB rakes given. 18645/18646 became 18045/18046 now.

That does help but I also feel at this point they should make East Coast SF with 57 kmph avg speed and 27-28 hrs time of travel, it's high time. That will save a rake as well. If train remains at each end for 16-18 hrs, that will require extra rake as well. Also we need to remember that TAT of SWVB HWH SF at SMVB is just too less and that will definitely change as time goes by. Probably, to like 7-8 hrs or even an extension to Mysuru with TT change to old schedule will also help.
