Re# 5928812-16              
There was a railwwy minister who incidentally was from coastal Karnataka (Sadananda Gowda) in 2014 during the first NDA govt. He was not able to do anything. Then he was shunted to another ministry. When the Late Suresh Angadi ( also from Karnataka) was the minister of state there were lots of efforts and demands to him as well. Even he was unable to do anything. So wondering here if having another minister from Karnataka will really solve the issue of moving it to another zone ??
Even in November, when the current rail minister was in Bangalore, reporters asked him the same question. As per the response from rail minister looks like this will not happen

( attaching the screenshot of the article ). Completely understand the MAQ passengers point of view. They have reason to be disappointed. I am surprised at the GM response since just a month ago the DRM had assured of 3 trains being moved from MAJN to MAQ !!!

Re# 5928812-18              
Good question. I guess if you see earlier as well I think Gulbarga div was announced in rail budget. Not implemented till date. Similarly no idea of the new rail zone in AP after carving out of the new state. New zone or new div is highly unlikely. I think the only chance when some realignment can possibly happen is if and when in future KR becomes part of Indian railways. That can be a good opportunity for railways to do some realignment. I have read reports that there are associations in Coastal MH & Karnataka who have been advocating of merging KR with IR.

Re# 5928812-21              
Yes that is precisely the issue with KR. All other zones in India somewhere or the other are having upgrade in infra, station redevelopment & so on, but nothing in KR due to lack of funds. I remember seeing some proposals of the annual time table committee couple of years ago where some train proposed by SR or CR was rejected by KR stating that they desperately need to preserve some paths for goods train so that they get some revenues. Merging of KR with IR will be good from long term stand point but are there any technical difficulties in doing this ?

Approval now given to rename Kochuveli as Thiruvanthapuram North and
Nemon as Thiruvanthapuram South.

So there will be 3 stations. Thiruvanthapuram North, Thiruvanthapuram Central and Thiruvanthapuram South

will be very useful for passengers coming from outside the state who may not be aware of the station names.
Hoping it gets implemented quickly.

Good request. Does any member know as to what is the reason why IR is not merging KR with it ? Is there some contribution in KR from the states of MH, Karnataka, Goa and Kerala ?

In times of accident or disruption sometimes it is best advised to short terminate train services. Train came up till Narsipatnam and then went back all the way to Vijaywada and then diverted via Nagpur.....

Is there any specific protocol or rules that is followed in such cases?

It will really help if they can construct pit lines and start trains from here as well. Will be a great help in de-congesting CBE railway station
