Change ur home and nearest stns to the above mentioned...👍👍

---

Yep.. looks like it might come into reality... post this PM swearing-in ceremony, we might see NOT only this, but many other VB launches in the upcoming days... let's wait and see...👍👍

---

Vinay sir, this train's TT is being claimed to depart from ERS at 4am which I'm wondering how is it gonna help... and reaching at SBC or any stn in BLR around 1310hrs.... almost 9hrs... one way... let's wait and see what's gonna happen...🤔👍

---

Let's wait and see what's gonna happen sir...👍👍

---

RFIR sir, r u sure that railways will know that it's quite early??? I don't think so... reason being they did the same thing for CBE BNC by earlier departing at 5am and with ppl's demand, they shifted to 730am... but my thinking is that if to depart early, they can depart at 530am and try reaching BLR (any stn) provided PGT CBE MPS is fast ONLY for VB... but that can't be done due to forest restrictions in terms of the MPS.... wondering once this comes to service, how is this gonna work out....
Do u have any idea sir how can this work out??? Anything running in ur mind sir???

---

This RFan had made this IMG from ERS to SBC and he had tagged me for review.... do u think this will be feasible sir???
/train/227804/52/12827
His train terminates at SMVT... but mosty will terminate at BNC given the fact that no space at SBC....👍👍👍

---

TPT stoppage is not given in that... I think he might have given MPS reduction since TPT bypass cabin is there.... I guess...👍👍

---

Oops... my bad... sorry... u think TUP is not that required???

---

Few weeks/months back, they shifted the CBE BNC VB TT from 5am to 730am... now if going back to almost previous value TT dept from CBE, having RSA with ERS BNC VB and then departing towards ERS (via TPT or HSRA), it'll be troublesome for CBE travellers... and might loose the pax occupancy %.... I think it's better to have separate rakes but try making the RSA (if possible)... Deepak sir and RFIR sir will this work???

---

If departing from CBE to SBC (Uday) at 630, and reaching at 1pm at SBC, TAT will be very less for SBC MAS DD... and also very recently they changed the TT of MAS SBC MAS DD.. I'm sure they won't make anymore changes...🤔

---

545am for the CBE BNC and around 9am for ERS BLR (any stn).... not sure how this'll work.... Uday starting at 630am.... my concern is that if TT again changed for CBE BNC VB how ppl will react to this decision.... same case for ERS BLR...🤔🤔🤔let's wait and see....

---

What I've heard is that long distance trains, they get shunted to a yard for maintenance purposes and then head back... obviously not the case for short TATs... with the delay charts I'm seeing for Uday, hypothetically if departing at 630am from CBE, there'll be many trains going towards SBC, like the Brindavan and Shatabdi and other trains from different sources making use of the JTJ-SBC line.... with that there'll be chances of overtake(n) situations that can lead to delay arrival at SBC... continuing that, TAT is only 30mins btw Uday and SBC MAS DD... so if dept delay happens, then SBC MAS DD will get delayed because of overtake of the MYS MAS VB.... let me know if I might have mentioned any incorrect stmts... this is my thinking...👍👍

---

Just checked the rake 1 TT, the problem in BLR is that whole day there's traffic.... be it sunny or heavily raining... so dept at BNC at 1230pm will be difficult... and assuming business ppl r going to travel to ERS, it'll be difficult for them to cut their work and then board the train.... let's wait and find out what'll they be bringing up with...🤔👍

---

Ah.. yes... u got the point... true...👍👍 u should come to BLR's KJM area and see the chaotic traffic.... OOF... when I was heading to MAS, I was to board the SBC MAS DD and ETA was 150pm... I reached there 5mins before ETA (luckily train came 10mins late).... and ideal timing from apt to stn is just 20mins.... worst case 30mins (with traffic).... despite leaving apt at 1245pm, I reached the stn 5mins before ETA.... that was close call....😑😑

---

Hmm.... ur point is considered... let's hope for the best....👍👍

---

"Successful completion of 1 year cancellation for many trains."...😄😄 unbelievable... never have I ever seen this much cancellation of trains.... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

---

One thing I don't understand.... why 3 months advance notice from officials being shared???

---

Just for my understanding, looking at the replies, both of u RFans r confident that with extn, will be superhit... but won't that be long??? I mean the shortest route is via TEN, DG, SA, KPD, RU, and rest stns, rather than taking a longer route i.e. via TVC, ERN and then reaching SA??

---

"Its not a justice to the current running route", sorry sir, can u elaborate on this stmt???

---

Island express was extended?? Oh this is something new for me.... but yes I agree to ur point, but my opinion, is that it's good going that way cause it's going on the higher MPS section (i.e. SA-TPT-BWT)... had it gone on the SA-HSRA section, then it would take loads of time due to 2 things, one is the Ghats section leading to slow MPS and crossings will be there which will further delay...👍

---

What's the chance of improving this train??? By taking the shortest route or change of ICF to LHB or speedup of TT???

---

Adding to ur point, Island Express name suits best cause at CAPE city, u have the famous Thiruvalluvar Statue Island... so can relate to it as this is going to CAPE...👍👍👍

---

For the second route, it'll slow down due to the MAJN HAS section which has, I guess very low MPS... is there any other way it can go??? How abt TVC SC via TEN, DG, SA, YNK, GY, KRNT.. which comes around 1386kms??

---

After Wellington Island in Kochi??? Oh that's interesting... nice... and that statue was a recent addition... I see...🤔👍

---

That might look good... let's hope and see if this proposal can be shared and becomes a reality in the future...👍👍

---

Will this work out??? As in for the first point, without loss of berths to MS region...

---

Ah... scratching my head actually...😁🤔 cause I'm wondering if not touching Chennai, wondering how this would work.... let's hope this would work out in reality....👍👍👍

---

23C VB?? Interesting....🤔🤔
