What a shit zone SER is a much demanded route train which needs frequency increase to daily which few days earlier was decided to be 4 days now stands cancelled🫡

---

Rake issue.

---

I am just wondering if there is a limitation in the booking software where it is not possible to allocate diff seat quota for different days ? I might be wrong....dont know .For 2 days of LHB the quota will remain same whereas for the other 3 days it will change since its a ICF rake. Instead of that having a uniform set of similar kind of rakes makes it far more easier to allocate berths in the system. At least SER should have thought about these before even coming out with the press release instead of announcing and then cancelling

---

I don't think there is any such limitation. Certain trains in the past having 4-5 rakes, had only 2 LHB rakes and other ICF rakes and bookings were proper that time. A recent example I remember is HWH ADI Express, whose 2 LHB rakes were in use and other 3 or 2 ICF rakes.

Moreover, TATA CDO also has rakes, 3 rakes of TATA JAT have been freed as it has got LHB rakes. Don't know why they cancelled the decision.

---

ok thanks for the update. Maybe members from Tata will be able to get some info. Booking was not opened and I do remember seeing lot of people highlighting and asking on twitter as to when will bookings re-open. All local papers had highlighted the frequency increase and now the same set has to highlight the cancellation !!!

---

There is no such limitations. Many trains got llhbfied one rake after another phasewise.

---

Non LHB Rakes should be made to run as spl trains. When LHB coaches are available regular Number should be used

---

Yes correct. That is right. I dont see any other train in this path as of now. Also 18189 will need to go to PER whereas the spl is going via RU . Only issue will be arrival at ERS whether ERS can receive trains at the peak hour in morning. With this TT then return TT of 18190 might also need to change in that case.

---

If it leaves Tatanagar at 1115 6hrs delayed it will arrive at 800. Return ERS at 1915 it will arrive tatanagar at 1635.

---

1st priority is making TATA-ERS Exp as Daily train according to RB Approval order. By Next year end it will be Daily train soon.

---

By mid of next year will be daily I guess..

---

Why yet not started online booking? Any one know

---

Few Old and new lhb coaches sent to TATA yesterday

---

Either for increase in frequency or for LHB rakes of TATA JAT

---

If it goes back to the old days when it used to depart at night (18189) and with slight speed up it will be great ( dep around 22:30hrs). Reaching ERS around 8pm/9pm.

---

With frequency increase, the 24 hr turnaround will no longer be there. It will mostly be PF turnaround. Train 18189 will arrive at ERS around 1:45am & return journey 18190 will start at 7:15am if you look at the new days of operations. Maybe around 5-6 hrs time available. If 18189 gets delayed, then 18190 will also have a delayed start.

---

Yes, TT of 13352 can be changed totally. The TAT at DHN will be decreased.
The new TT may be like
/train/217243

---

How come it start with PF attention when one way distance is 2300km and round-trip I'd 4600km when PM cycle is max 4000km for LHB rake? It has to go pitline for SM 5-6 hrs and another 2 hrs on PF placement and Shunting another 2 hours buffer to absorb late. If same rake has to return then dep from ERS will be changed to afternoon and new TT wil be given for saving a rake.

---

Till the time the ERS-Allp-KYJ section is not doubled highly unlilkey chances of more trains in this section. It is single line from ERS-KYJ and few patches of doubling. Also while the TT is good, it is peak hrs at TVC/KCVL so that also is a big challenge. Maybe in future once doubling is done and capacity is enhanced there is a chance. As of now many trains like Ajmer-Ernakulam, Pune-Ernakulam are waiting for extensions till TVC but are getting rejected for the same reason
