Post the revised TT, we might see that in btw Vaniyambadi and Ambur... let's wait and see... also let's hope in the meanwhile that we might see the 130kmph upgrade in this JTJ-SBC-JTJ section (although DD and Uday N/A)...ЁЯСНЁЯСН

And it shows after Ambur, it'll get overtaken... this is ideal case but in reality, it might overtake at/before/after Ambur... let's wait and see...ЁЯСНЁЯСН

Yes correct. Mostly it is BWT. However there are few occasions when I have seen VB overtaking it at Malur as well when DD was delayed

With new TT, DD and Brindavan have good gap. Need not be one behind the other.
If you see, there is no train after 0800 towards MAS till 1430 (not counting weeklies and looong distance trains)

Great
The Bengaluru-Chennai AC double-decker express train, which will now share rakes with the Bengaluru-Coimbatore Uday Express, will now be operated with five non-AC chair car coaches. Add the primary maintenance that will happen at the basin bridge in Chennai.

...THE AC DOUBLE DECKER...
.
Indian Railways launched much hyped a new category of trains i.e. "AC Double Decker" on various routes in 2011 during Ms. Mamta Banerjee rail ministry
.
WR Ahmedabad -...

Mumbai Central Double Decker Express
WCR Bhopal тАУ Indore Double Decker Express [RSA]
SR Chennai - Bangalore Double Decker Express
SCR Guntur - Kacheguda Double Decker Express [RSA] [to be DEFUNCT]
ECR Habibganj - Indore Junction Double Decker Express [RSA]
ER Howrah тАУ Dhanbad Double Decker Express [DEFUNCT]
NWR Jaipur - Delhi Sarai Rohilla Double Decker Express
SCR Kacheguda - Tirupati Double Decker Express [RSA] [to be DEFUNCT]
NER Lucknow - Anand Vihar Double Decker Express
.
Of these many couldn't b a success probably due to :-
*Less Leg Room (Legs seems to be crushed)
*Width of seats is less (fat people cant travel comfortably)
*Luggage Problem
*Lack of PC on longer routes/ journey (AC pax dont prefer to get down to buy RAIL NEER/soft drinks etc )
*(Inputs welcomed)
.
Not to forget
*heavy investment and manpower in R&D
*RDSO trials and certificate
*CRS trails
*curve issues
*pf manipulation
.
The POINT is dont run DDs for d sake of running tag "DOUBLE DECKER" in the country.
its a waste exercise if its not ran in conducive way or optimum utilized.
.
But v hav witnessed certain DDs which r successful such as JP-DEE, ADI-BCT, MAS-SBC, LJN-ANVT but lets us clear that dese have become successful dont bcoz of DOUBLE DECKER concept but bcoz of route demanding a AC train. not to forget JP-DEE has 2 shat EC coaches.
.
another point
----------------
consider newly inaugurated LJN-ANVT DD which has 10 CC
so lets compare
10x120=1200 seats
15*78=1170 seats
What m trying to say is a icf shat can b easily ran with 15coaches carrying almost same no. of passengers
.
there r HBJ - INDB -BPL - INDB - HBJ DD which jst hav 3 coaches whereas it was said DD wud clear rush
what a joke !
instead of above DD, a simple ICE consisting of GEN, 2S, CC would do boon for passengers
.
Therefore, I wud suggest to run ICF shats without catering charges on wherever routes required.
.
Now dese existing DD sud b ran only on existing shat routes only.
I have heard manufacturing of DD has been stopped.
.
Last but not d least, some positive scope.
DDs wud b a assest where it can replace 24coacher or max coaches train with same comfort and everything....

Feedbacks plz !
