Flop? No way. It one of the biggest hits among Premium trains! Bangalore - Kerala trains can never be flops. And this one runs at par with buses when it comes to speeds.

---

if punctuality is maintained!!!!

---

How many coaches the unused platform in BNC can hold? (Platform on left side of used for all arrivals from SBC side). If it can hold 10-14 coaches, definitely normal trains can run using that PF.

---

i think it can hold 15-18 coaches. Normal trains cant run permanently due to lack of space at SBC/BNC.. BYPL yard is not fully functional yet. We can expect new trains from BYPL once BYPL yard is expanded and PF space is extended.

---

Premium can run but normal can not run!? Why? If long distance trains cannot be introduced, it is OK. Run few short haul trains to Kolar, Salem, JTJ in day time (Express or passenger). They can come to BNC, halt for max 30-45 min and go back to their destinations. Run few passengers / DEMU to Hosur in day time, since the line is totally free after 7:30 AM till evening 6 PM.

---

Premium trains fare are based on dynamic pricing.

---

Premium trains don't have fixed price. It is based on dynamic price i.e prices increase when demand for seats increase

---

Yes prices increases when availability reduces....

---

Island gets late usually because having least priority in this route...Railway can not avoid most revenue earning stations like KTYM, TRVL & CNGR so they are trying to rum most of the specials through this route even if it is congested...

---

Same for tvc mail also.... ERS ktym kyj doubling shud complete at the earliest

---

Yes, KTYM line should've been double atleast 10 years back. In fact, the line has been under "doubling process" for the past 13 years or so, for a distance of just 115 km! And so far they have completed some 35 km. Pathetic. And Kerala politicians are even more pathetic, least interested in raising such issues.

really sad to hear premimum has been treated like this, recently my friend also travelled in MS-TEN premium, it has to reach by 7:10 a.m. , but reached by 12:10 p.m .... IR is very good in looting the money

---

Guess it was a one-off incident. Both premiums are keeping their time now. Late by only around 15-20 min.

---

If possible do approach the Consumer Forum... It seems IR has joined the airline club in terms of fares!!!!

---

Air lines wale bhi last minute me negociate karne par saste me dedete hai.
I cant complain bcoz luckily I hav never been the victim of Premium till date so I dont have proof.

---

Case for what? Too high price is probably not a valid ground for a consumer forum complaint I believe.

---

Regarding the delay.

---

But it can be complained for not providing the facilities as per cost!!!
never on time..
