Wondering why SR only extended upto Villupuram instead of upto Tambaram or Egmore?

So, with this extension proposal, will the Primary maintenance be shifted to VM from MDU for this train ?

@6200615-1 @FalaknumaSF~

16347 TVC-MAQ express is wrong choice of request for extension!!

16347/16348 is primarily used by Malabar passengers to travel to their state capital city in Kerala similar to 12633/12634 Cape-MS express providing state capital connectivity for Nagercoil passengers!!

The down train, crawling like anything after Katpadi Jn., could reach MAS at 7 am if unnecessary slack time was avoided. Earlier, this train used to overtake the Kaveri Express and reach MAS on time. It's too bad and a downgrade for a Superfast train.

Now that Ernakuam-Kottayam-Kayamkulam doubling is completed, Railways can extend 12677/12678 Bangalore-Ernakulam intercity to Trivandrum central or Kochuveli via kayamkulam, Kollam

In the past, GM-SR said that once doubling via kottayam is completed, path contraints would ease and long distance trains terminated @ERS ( due to path/terminal constraints towards south ) would be extended to TVC/KCVL.. Till date no long distance trains so terminated @ERS are extended to TVC even after doubling via Kottayam is complete and new terminal facilities came up @KCVL..

When 12677/12678 was earlier running between CBE & SBC, only 1 rake was needed, hence it was called intercity. After extension to ERS, 2 rakes were provided and should be called Day express . Now further operating this service to TVC/KCVL is possible with present 2 rakes which means no additional rake neede!!

With ERS-Kottayam-Kayankulam doubling completed, path constraint to south is cleared now. With upgradation of KCVL going on in phases, I guess it is possible to operate 12677/12678 ERS-SBC Day express now to KCVL thereby additionally benefitting...

My suggestion is for obtaining additional capacity to SBC/HSRA/SA/CBE from TVC/QLN/KTYM as there is no day train till date. New trains requested are pending for years. 12677/12678 extension from ERS to KCVL can be implemented easily by Railways as there is no additional rake requirement.

Extensions are quite common in Indian railways and no need to get paranoia about one particular train. For example, 11014 Bangalore-Mumbai LTT express was extended to Coimbatore few years back and rail passengers supported it.
