The Brindavan SF Exp. 12640 from today SBC Dep: 15:00 hrs. and Chennai Arv. 21:05 hrs. So 10 min early departure and 10 mins early arrival at MAS is Gr8 !
We thank SR Officials they have done this much help to its Passengers. It is very idle if 20:45 hrs at MAS, hope SR can do something so that long-distance-Passengers reach home bit early through public-transport.
-Aslo Brindavan/12639 timings could have pls STARTED MAS 10-15 minutes Earlier so that it cross Krishnarajapuram at 12:50 hrs and Without stopping at Baiyyappanahalli Station for

Long-Time and reach Bangalore-Cantonment to Avoid Karnataka-Exp DLI-SBC 12628 RUNNING 2400+km and most of the times 10-20 mins Late-running is possible.
So SR & SWR officials can re-arrange Brindavan proceed BNC & SBC earlier. So oneway can avoid many TICKETLESS-travellers travel to SBC and other way to Bangarpet some-Free-Ride if this train stops both-ways cause some times TTE busy in other Coaches, and this UR pax Enter Reserved-coaches purposely like Lalbagh Exp.and other ICE trains
-SUGGESTION: Instead karnataka Exp. if stops at 12:45 hrs. for 1-2 mins at CHANNASANDRA-Station is before KJM-stn and above BYPL-stn, and just 10KM Before Cantonment-Station. then several Hundreds of Passengers can get down at Channasandra where lot of Banaswadi-Ring-Road "BMTC-BUSES AC, autos" available to all near & far destinations like K.R.Puram, Whitefield, Marthahalli, Hennur, Koramangala, Electronic City, Ulsoor, etc. So this way at Cantonment-Station heavy pax-crowd and Traffic congestions will be reduced.
This way Brindavan from KJM run to BNC & SBC 15-20 mins earlier (without stopping at BYPL-stn) so that this same Brindavan in 1 hours time Return as 12640/SBC-MAS dep.15:00 hrs. So at SBC have sufficient-time for bit-cleaning & filling-water in all toilet tanks.
-Over all SR & SWR Officials can speedup Brindavan both ways another 15-20 mins while avoiding unnecessary stops at BYPL and drag to SBC very slowly to adjust Time Table arrival time. Thanks some times arriving 15-20 minutes before. The Kaveri Exp. MYS-SBC-MAS reduced by 20 mins.
So if DD late running then that day Brindvan get late behind, and DD early then Brindavan also early what we have saw @ stations.

DD revised timings from 1/9/2014 SBC dep. 14:30 and MAS arival: 20:35 as per irctc, even can start at 14:15 hrs. due to Double Decker-train can speed increase but lot of Curves in this route, so safety should not be compromised, and DD covers in 6H.05M with AC till all the way fresh is great.

The Brindavan SF Express doesn't matter whether WAP4 or WAP7, but make Run-Slow is the issue to all Intermediate-Stations due to one Stoppage suppose 15 mins Late and Next-Stoppage either to Gain-Speed or another few minutes Reduced-Late is good, and after 2-minutes alloted @ Stations stop but make 5+minutes Late at Stations without any Crossings not there except goods train, but next-stop again 30-45+ minutes further Late is very strange by concerned officials & some Aged Loco Pilots who knows. Like this all intermediate-stations Passengers reaching Late. So PRO and Station Masters to Run this Train On-time which will help Passengers reach home/work place.
-It seems putting down Brindavan exp. from 1/7/2012 Time-Table Changed-Slot then only SR/IR going to save Lakhs and

Croes of Rupees if loss to Profit making? by this single "Peoples-Train Brindavn Express" Travelling-time is Less 5Hrs, then 5h.30/45 Min. instead of dragging to 6h.5m plus hold at BYPL-stn. The Ticket-Fare is LESS and Save few Hundreds Rupees like LALBAGH, Intercity Exp. when cost of living kept on going higher in days and weeks pls note.
-Hi Friends, like BRINDAVAN EXPRESS, our national carrier AIR-INDIA loosing market revenue with some small planes. but other foreign airlines Lufthansa, Emirates using jumbos. So these 2 are similar conditions facing today due to within internal-people. -There are many Airlines from BLR to Chennai take-off 5-10 mins. diffrence with passengers load.
-So why not DD train start 20 mins.Early in TT so that Brindavan also start earlier both ways and Pax reach arrival early.
-Hope our new PM Government and Railway Officials come forward to help Middle Class and poor passengers to reach its destination to keep Speed & Punctuality if possible rather than old age Steam Engine Era type dragging pls avoid. tx.

As usual SR made this train to get humiliated . First was Providing stops at unnecessary locations , second it was the removal of two AC chair coaches, 3rd was reducing the 2S coaches , 4th was by removing the final AC Chair car which was left , 5th was the removal of the Pantry Car. A die hard fan Brindavan would never forget the Yummy food which was provided in Brindavan and the magnificent run it used to have. Now this legend has 23 coaches, Yes you read it right, it was 23 . The PC was not replaced by an UR or with a 2S. I was shocked when i looked this Legend with a modest look. This Legend was crushed like anything by this stupid SR which wanted to increase the patronage of Double Decker. It was one of the few day Intercity type trains which had 24...

Coaches. Now Brindavan has lost this feather as well from its hat.
Still Brindavan has some fans left and no one will forget its service in the busy MAS-SBC corridor.

Re# 1177907-44              
Agreed your above points that Railways cut all facilities as you mentioned to upgrade another new train. It is first time it happened in our Railways.
-Brindavan Express been robbed from 1-7-2012 slot and scale down its facilities, so that new Double Decker to survive passengers &as per Times of India News/Chennai/7-2-2013. So speed 62 reduced to match DD run 58 kmph. May be double deck LHB Coach-Weight is more than regular coach may be and several-curves may slow. Cause both takes same running hours. From morning SBC-Mas Intercity SF/12610 dep. 8am then DD starts after 6.30hrs gap but ticket fare is higher Rs.470 only emergency we used and aircondition effect is gone once Central platform arrived due to humidity. So "present

cost of living" normal SF like Lalbagh Exp. and Brindavan fare one third plus PC food & coffee is ok.
-So only scale down Brindavan then only DD prospering? there are thousands of SF & Express running along Rajdhani, Shatabdi, other DD & Doronto Express running independently. So SR to benefit DD to further:
-Let SR & SWR Start Brindavan 6.30am @ MAS (like Lalbagh/12608) and reach SBC 12.30/45 and SBC Dep: 13.30/45 and MAS Arv: 19.30 hrs. (like Mas-Sbc Intercity/12609). SO that Double Decker got lot of time to adjust time MAS dep: 7.30 hrs and SBC Arv: 13.30 pm and Dep: 15.00 hrs and reach MAS 20.45 hrs. so that DD run full and later add another 2 LHB coaches.
-Also regret all Brindavan Loco Pilots of WAP4 & WAP7 is Gr8 but NOT running as per Time-Table (bit Tired running slow it seems but pls keep on-time if possible) along enroute other Station-Masters delay for giving green-signal from Departure to all Intermediate-Stations in 2 minutes but forget and lately give signals is all count much for this Train to run Late every now & then at each stoppage. Just 10-20 mins. is agree but God sake not 30 to 60 mins.plus Late Running is beyond limit, Sir why it is not Gaining Speed like other Trains? Lalbagh SF 21-22 coaches but due to Sir Brindavan SF 24 coaches (and some are OLD paan-paarag coaches recently attached at Yards at night) so this makes run slow. Sir road transport lot of jerk and brake but Train we travel always even full but smooth running by expert LPs under Rail Minister, various Divisional Managers, Chiefs, PROs, Station Masters, LPs & all Staff transport millions and millions of Passengers 24x7 is Gr8 !

The Brindavan SF Express: Reason for Removing Pantry Car,
As per comments from Av Krishna/#1174788/ July'31.
Also its original Speed 62 KMPH and from 1-7-2012 Reduced to 58 KMPH. Also 58-years original SLOT Changed for DD, due to this NOW facing non-schedule stopping at Baiyyapanahalli Station for long time waiting for Late running Karnataka Exp to cross to SBC.
-Instead concerned SR/SWR PRO

can send Brindavan from KJM 12:55/57 directly to BNC & SBC reach sufficient time by 13:30 hrs (instead now reaching 14:00 hrs for 14-km distance drag 1 hour, Plus if Late, and this train after few hours enroute covering almost 65 km in 1-hours time) So that hungry-Passengers can have some FOOD & WATER on humanitarian grounds DUE to Pantry Car & catering removed suddenly.
-Hope our PM new government and our Karnataka State Railway Minister Hon'ble Sadananda Gowda & all concerned Staff please Do Something for Pro Aam-Addmi & Middle Class Passengers of Brindavan to solve grievances of Long Distance Passengers about increased running time both ways should please be REDUCED, and to Run on-time to all 10 Intermediate Stations.
And since 7/2012 some train route of old coaches twice changed to Old coaches outside & inside Paan Parag Where Ever We Look, and now Request new rake (No RSA) for Brindavan and Reserved Coach from 6 to 10 Chair Car is much helpful and rest Un-Reserved II Class-Chair-Car similar to Lalbagh exp, SBC-Arokonam and Marikuppam passngr sometime running.
-So high fare GARIB RATH AC and DD running for executives and rich is gr8 no issue.
-Like Deccan Queen Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai) The Brindavan SF Express MAS-SBC-MAS on 1-10-2014 completing 60-years is Life-Line for Middle Class & Aam Aadmi Passengers to reach early to their destination like in the past on-time performance & its a Public Transport of Great Indian Railways thousands & thousands of Express Train Running Without Hindrance. But regret Brindavan Express each & every-system blocked directly or indirectly & make late due to Karnataka Exp and Double decker should kindly be avoided.
Instead still what all Latest News going to come for Brindavan in store as Passenger-friendly or against who knows. Thnx for all concerned Officials at present status running and request on behalf of all pax to reduce running time with new coaches if possible.
