RFIR sir, r u sure that railways will know that it's quite early??? I don't think so... reason being they did the same thing for CBE BNC by earlier departing at 5am and with ppl's demand, they shifted to 730am... but my thinking is that if to depart early, they can depart at 530am and try reaching BLR (any stn) provided PGT CBE MPS is fast ONLY for VB... but that can't be done due to forest restrictions in terms of the MPS.... wondering once this comes to service, how is this gonna work out....
Do u have any idea sir how can this work out??? Anything running in ur mind sir???

Re# 6086337-24              
Few weeks/months back, they shifted the CBE BNC VB TT from 5am to 730am... now if going back to almost previous value TT dept from CBE, having RSA with ERS BNC VB and then departing towards ERS (via TPT or HSRA), it'll be troublesome for CBE travellers... and might loose the pax occupancy %.... I think it's better to have separate rakes but try making the RSA (if possible)... Deepak sir and RFIR sir will this work???

If departing from CBE to SBC (Uday) at 630, and reaching at 1pm at SBC, TAT will be very less for SBC MAS DD... and also very recently they changed the TT of MAS SBC MAS DD.. I'm sure they won't make anymore changes...ЁЯдФ

Re# 6086337-29              
What I've heard is that long distance trains, they get shunted to a yard for maintenance purposes and then head back... obviously not the case for short TATs... with the delay charts I'm seeing for Uday, hypothetically if departing at 630am from CBE, there'll be many trains going towards SBC, like the Brindavan and Shatabdi and other trains from different sources making use of the JTJ-SBC line.... with that there'll be chances of overtake(n) situations that can lead to delay arrival at SBC... continuing that, TAT is only 30mins btw Uday and SBC MAS DD... so if dept delay happens, then SBC MAS DD will get delayed because of overtake of the MYS MAS VB.... let me know if I might have mentioned any incorrect stmts... this is my thinking...ЁЯСНЁЯСН

Just checked the rake 1 TT, the problem in BLR is that whole day there's traffic.... be it sunny or heavily raining... so dept at BNC at 1230pm will be difficult... and assuming business ppl r going to travel to ERS, it'll be difficult for them to cut their work and then board the train.... let's wait and find out what'll they be bringing up with...ЁЯдФЁЯСН

Ah.. yes... u got the point... true...ЁЯСНЁЯСН u should come to BLR's KJM area and see the chaotic traffic.... OOF... when I was heading to MAS, I was to board the SBC MAS DD and ETA was 150pm... I reached there 5mins before ETA (luckily train came 10mins late).... and ideal timing from apt to stn is just 20mins.... worst case 30mins (with traffic).... despite leaving apt at 1245pm, I reached the stn 5mins before ETA.... that was close call....ЁЯШСЁЯШС

Reservation suspended for the train after Oct 2nd. All RSA trains reservation are also suspended. Likely to see some changes in TT but since RSA reservation is also suspended, its likely to still have RSA after LHBfication. Will the departure change to morning 06 AM from Charlapalli ? Have to wait and watch.....

One thing is for sure. SR is lazy and waste zone. Especially MAS and TVC , they don't want to maintain no train but keep their zones lol and I say this as SR railfan lol

Just for my understanding, looking at the replies, both of u RFans r confident that with extn, will be superhit... but won't that be long??? I mean the shortest route is via TEN, DG, SA, KPD, RU, and rest stns, rather than taking a longer route i.e. via TVC, ERN and then reaching SA??

Island express was extended?? Oh this is something new for me.... but yes I agree to ur point, but my opinion, is that it's good going that way cause it's going on the higher MPS section (i.e. SA-TPT-BWT)... had it gone on the SA-HSRA section, then it would take loads of time due to 2 things, one is the Ghats section leading to slow MPS and crossings will be there which will further delay...ЁЯСН
