_/\_:Mindless decision _/\_:Worst decision by SCR
SCR Proposed for the permanent diversion of VSKP LTT Via GNT if So. the train exactly run with a difference of 5-10min behind Sabari express(17229) what about Sabari express then..? the train is already slowed after SRR by-pass if this VSKP LTT Joins the line the train will be slowed even more.
what's the point of diverting a train in a fully saturated line. The 18520 will have additional block B/W SC GNT of Approx 1hr 30min. in order to save 30km and a LR the train is now creating another headache in the entire stretch.
...
more...

will turn into Visakha express 2.0 B/W VSKP-SC
1. Quota Will be effected
2. Crawler of the stretch
3. Will be slowed by approx 2hrs towards VSKP
4. Effects other trains TT.

instead of re-routing this train why cant they ask for the frequency of COA-LTT which is already running.

brainless proposals.
already the train Degraded from SF to M/E. Now after re-routing this will now turns into a Fast Passenger
