KKRAlwaysDestroyTeamIndia~ 1464 blog postsSCR must ensure RSA of Falaknuma & East Coast Express. SCR must take East Coast Express Rake from SER. East Coast Express must be converted to SF after SCR gets hold of the train, renumber the train from 18645/18646 to 22703/22704. This will help & improve Kolkata-Hyderabad Train travel very much. East Coast was SCR train in till 2007/08 having 7045/7046 number. Then it was given to SER during Number system change of IR in 2008/09. 7045/7046 East Coast Express became 18645/18646 & RSA with 18615/18616 was enforced. But currently 18645/18646 RSA with 18615/18616 was removed after LHB rakes given. 18645/18646 became 18045/18046 now.

Falcon is recovering from it's notorious reputation of having the worst maintenance in SCR thanks to it's new RSA. To pair it with East Coast, which has very bad maintenance, since it's SER doing PM , no surprise there, would be a terrible decision. Also, even if SCR takes over PM of East Coast, it is unlikely they will assign RSA to two long distance trains. SER can do some RSA on its end like with HWH SMVB SF or any night train by speeding up East Coast to make it arrive by 11:00 AM at HWH end. Return can depart early in the evening at around 15:00 PM or so.
The way 12841/42 & 12839.40 undergoes RSA, 12703/04 & 18045/46(as 22703/04) can have their RSA. its just a proposal anyways
That would mean a TT swap either between 12704 and 18046 or 12703 and 18045
SMVT HWH arrives at 2000 and can have PM and leave as East coast in morning ar 1145 no change in timings. From Hyderabad the timings can be changed to leave in night at 2200 to arrive in morning 600 then it leave to SMVT in night. This can save turn around time of SMVT express which is 24hrs which will save a rake of East coast.
That does help but I also feel at this point they should make East Coast SF with 57 kmph avg speed and 27-28 hrs time of travel, it's high time. That will save a rake as well. If train remains at each end for 16-18 hrs, that will require extra rake as well. Also we need to remember that TAT of SWVB HWH SF at SMVB is just too less and that will definitely change as time goes by. Probably, to like 7-8 hrs or even an extension to Mysuru with TT change to old schedule will also help.
SER Heavyweights in this poll. Which is the most Heavyweight Train of SER?
