Extension of 13351/13352 upto KCVL/TVC is most welcome step along with 18189/18190 upto ALLP but I personally feel that after commission of new CDO,pitlines at Nemom 18189/18190 will surely get extension upto Nemom in near future

---

18189/90 frequency should be increased. It will decrease the load of 13351/52

---

It is daily only , just running as biweekly
Rakes needed

---

18189/18190 were proposed to be a DAILY Train. But it was introduced as a Bi weekly Exp. Every one thought that the frequency of this train would be increased gradually to make it a DAILY. But SER has forgotten the proposal and it remained as a Bi Weekly till today.
Passengers Associations should bring pressure on the SER to increase its frequency to make it a daily. Speed of this train should be increased to run as a SF train.

let's see how IR going to react.. is this even real HRC ? how can it intervene in IR's operations...

---

new Kerala VB is also running 150% + ?

---

Yeah. .somedays it goes to regret too!

The issue is basically happening more in the ERS-TVC (section via Allp) where there is single line stretch. What has compounded the matter is couple of trains running in monsoon TT including TVC-Rajdhani and one more TVC-NZM SF. So 3 trains VB, Rajdhani and the NZM train are allowed to cross at the expense of the daily passenger train which leaves on time from ERS and then is detained at the next station (Kumbalam) for more than 45 min. The monsoon TT ends on 31-Oct so there might be some respite. On the other hand railways can try and improve their controlling slightly better. Passengers are saying that instead of detaining for so long at one station, the train has sufficient time to move to couple of stations ahead and this can reduce the delay and crossing can easily happen there.

Nothing much will happen. They cannot influence the outcome. SR (PGT div) will come with a standard response on measures being taken,The detentions of other trains has already come to notice of SR (TVC and PGT div) and some work is happening to resolve this.
