2 trains rollin' in & 1 bouncin' out at Thane Station with the rain comin' down | Awesome Monsoon Train Vibes 1. Mumbai LTT - Ballia train 11071 Kamayani Express 2. KJM WAP-7 39172 with 11059 Mumbai LTT - Chhapra Express 3. NKJ WAG-5 23814 with Mumbai LTT - Mangaluru Central (Mangalore) train 12619 Matsyagandha Express

So, after that thing that rail guy Chinmay Kole talked about, people are back on the ICF rakes gotta go, LHB rakes gotta come on the Matsyagandha Express train. Here’s what I think we can do: 1. Just stop sharing rakes with that Train No. 16347/48 MAQ-TVC SF Express and let Matsyagandha Express roll solo. 2. Ditch the sharing with Train No. 16347/48 and team up with Train No. 12685/86 Mangaluru Central–MGR Chennai Central SF Express instead. Since Matsyagandha Express is a big deal on the Konkan Railway, it deserves a First AC (Cabin) coach. Plus, that Train No. 12685/86 gets better maintenance at BBQ depot than at TVC depot. Also, the Mangaluru Central–Thiruvananthapuram SF Express can either share with Netravati Express or just do its own thing since it stops for like 3-4 hours at Mangaluru Central. 3. Get that RSA going with the Netravati Express, just like they said in the IRTTC 2022 meet. Check out Chinmay Kole’s video about the whole thing: click here.

Haal hi mein rail vlogger Chinmay Kole ne jo incident report kiya, uske baad se Matsyagandha Express ke ICF rakes ko LHB rakes se badalne ki demand phir se uth gayi hai. Iska haal nikaalne ke liye, main teen potential solutions suggest karta hoon:

1. Is train aur Train No. 16347/48 MAQ-TVC SF Express ke beech ka rake-sharing arrangement (RSA) tod do aur Matsyagandha Express ko independent operate karo.

2. Train No. 16347/48 MAQ-TVC SF Express ka RSA tod do aur Train No. 12685/86 Mangaluru Central–MGR Chennai Central SF Express ke saath ek RSA banao. Kyunki Matsyagandha Express Konkan Railway route par ek prestigious train hai, isme First AC (Cabin) coach hona chahiye. Train No. 12685/86 BBQ depot par maintain hota hai, jo TVC depot se behtar hai, toh yeh change faydemand ho sakta hai. Mangaluru Central–Thiruvananthapuram SF Express ya toh Netravati Express ke saath RSA bana sakta hai ya independent operate kar sakta hai, kyunki yeh Mangaluru Central par 3-4 ghante rukta hai.

3. Netravati Express ke saath ek RSA establish karo, jaise ki IRTTC 2022 meeting mein propose kiya gaya tha.
