For train no 12219/12220 LTT SC Duronto Express we have rake idle time of 3 days plus.
Plus patronage is not upto the mark as is required.
So was wondering to optimise rake availability, why can't IR consider extension of this Duronto till Chennai via Nalgonda - Guntur - Ongole.
...
more... This will give a new connection to Mumbai and many unconnected cities will find a fastest connection to Mumbai.
Besides patronage can be guaranteed...
Have enclosed a Tentative TT in here...

please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, for the train number 12219/12220 LTT SC Duronto Express, we got a long-ass idle time of 3 days and then some. Plus, the number of passengers ain't up to snuff. So I was thinking, to make better use of the train, why doesn't the Indian Railways extend this Duronto all the way to Chennai via Nalgonda - Guntur - Ongole? That way, we'll have a fresh connection to Mumbai and folks from other cities can finally catch a fast train to Mumbai. Plus, we can guarantee that the number of passengers will increase.
