SC rmm will not run via Tanjore they fixed via chennai and Tiruvaur.
That why Ahemdabad to Rmm was given for Thanjavur to compensate the sc train which runing as special upto trichy.
Once bridge opens it will be extended via Pudukkottai.
MDU to kcg is good but route should be old route via tirupati I don't know why they chng d that route

MDU division might not be willing to spare cleaning crew just for one train. Please understand one thing. We can have our own opinions and keep ranting about it in these forums. Ultimately railways have their own parameters of deploying staff, looking at utilisation etc. Had Palani had many trains originating and terminating, maybe it would have been easier to have dedicated crew from mechanical division. But as I can see it is more of a passing station. Probably that could have been the reason for MDU division not wanting it to terminate there. I never mentioned it is a SA division train. All I said that SA division wants to decongest CBE station and probably free up a stabling line.

Right point.One approach these days that railways has started and probably started just before covid sometime in 2018-2029 is asking zones increasingly to propose trains for extension which have a long turnaround time and try and use the extra time to cover newer places. It is not always a great passenger friendly move. Because of this quota has reduced, cleanliness has reduced and net effect is passenger inconvenience

Makes sense ! Look like i read it wrong. I got it now. Also I forgot the fact Palani is MDU div - I thought its SA ! Thank you for clearing it
