And then
12621 Tamil Nadu Express: 1 halt in Tamil Nadu, doesn't serve the state Andhra Pradesh where 12723/22415 doesn't run.

TN might have stood unchanged, but it serves only very small set of passengers. The ones which truly serve loads of passengers might take a different form, but they serve. The SR babus kept the schedule unchanged to prove their narrow mindsets.

Pity your poor understanding capability.

If link is made to run as a separate 16 coach train, then I don't see any WLs in Link (Daily connectivity). If SJ and Samta are made to run as a 24 coach trains, I don't see any WLs, however we may expect few RACs on certain days.

Do you still need a separate AC Express from Visakhapatnam, on the lines of the existing timetable, when you could have improvised the existing services?

(For record purpose, Swarna Jayanthi and Link start from a city, belonging to a state, for which BZA is capital.)
-
By the way, show a train, where a train has a good 200+ berths availability between BZA-NDLS-BZA (barring 22415).
-
Don't you think a capital of a state deserves a dedicated train?
-
You may have 19 trains between BZA-NDLS (barring this AC Express), but very few trains have good quota, and they happen to give the same number of berths to many stations, which means when cut down into berths per station, BZA receives only a handful of them.

Samta/SJ 3A, 2A, 1A avail chudu anna, WL 15 kante ekkuva unda? WL 15 ochindi ani kotha train eskonte Ippatiki SC-NZM 15 new dedicated AC Express' undalsi undedi.

Alantivalla nunchi tran lakkonte matram its just doing justice to the quote "Addukkonevalla deggra nunchi lakkovatam."

Rajdhani aina intha slow schedule unte do you think a common man will spend money to take 'this' train over Swarna Jayanthi?
BZA nunchi MAS Rajdhani/MAS Duronto two slots unnayi. Changing timings isn't a really big challenge when compared to changing the timings of present 22415.
"Be it be succumbing to political or lesser interest, SCR got the all time worst TT for YPR GR. Where coaches are capable for 130kmph, it didnt get 50 avg speed. Why didnt SCR scrap it ? Running with more than 80% empty berths, why didnt they notice it ? If SCR notice it, why Patriots of SCR notice and file a petition against it ? Why SCR is hesitating to scrap the DD losses although they made a public statement on it. Pls, get your facts correct before targeting a place."
YPR GR TT is getting changed. Don't worry about GR. It gave profits when it was running in the prime slot. Agreed that SCR didn't do good, but better late than never, it will run in a fairly better TT from November. What more can you expect from an over saturated route?
"SJ was introduced about 17-18 yrs back. look how much traffic has increased in this 2 decades. Not possible for aggressive TT everytime."
12723 Was introduced in 1976. Despite the traffic increase, we are managing to run Duronto Express at an average speed of 77 KMPH between SC-DEE (12213 Duronto) and 78 KMPH between SC-NZM (12285 Duronto). Why someone else do that?
Regarding DD: Cancel it. For heaven sake cancel it. No one wants the DD to run. In fact even before its introduction I had called it a useless train and it was bound to run with poor patronage. I do not have as many contacts as you do in the railways, but as far as what I can do, I have done to get it canceled.
"How about SCR's SC SHM LHB AC EXPRESS which runs on same exact TT like a ICF SF. Shall we scrap it ?"
You are mistaken. It runs in a slower than ICF SF slot in SHM-SC Direction. But there is a fair demand of last moment passengers to Kolkata, because there are only two other trains which run to Kolkata from Hyderabad and are usually wait listed. Days of operations should be changed, and I'm not against it. But mind that there are only two other trains to HWH which are jampacked every single day in the year.
"What did SCR do for SC VSKP AC Ex with LHB ? Why didnt SCR design a faster TT ? Is VSKP is at fault even then? SCR's own SC VSKP Drnt or GR does better ? Who is wasting money here ? Who is lazy in designing TT's ?"
How fast you want to run an overnight train, which is just a supporting train to other trains? SC 23:00 VSKP 03:00? Please tell me. It is running "only because" a rake is lying empty and there is demand.
Please list out remaining questions, if any.
PS: This is just 'difference in opinions', I'm not against you as in person. I hope its the same other way around.
Cheers.

"which train is having 1 A from VSKP to Delhi ?"
How many trains have scope of getting a 1A?
"Is WL and figures matter, then as per RTI and even SCR;s own figures, then its wavering from 50-80 berths of AC classes all included. So, Then BZA definitely doesnt need a train until you file another RTI to see if demand increased or not."
Allow...

me to quota a message from my dear friend, Vamsee Teja, which explains you why AC Express from BZA is better than AC Express from VSKP.
_________________________________________________
You are taking only those quota seats into consideration and are assuming this is the demand from BZA, which is absolutely wrong. Do you have any idea about the no. of passengers who book tickets from MAS or any station which is having GN quota for a particular train and change the boarding point to BZA?
Let us look at some statistics to look at some prospects of demand.
As per 2011 statistics
Urban Agglomeration population of Vijayawada: 14,91,202
Urban Agglomeration population of Guntur*: 10,28,667
Population of Tenali*: 1,64,649
Total population: 26,84,518 ~~27 Lakhs.
As of 2015 there could a rise in population in these cities consider it to be around 5 Lakhs.
Approximated Population: 27 Lakhs + 5 Lakhs = 32 Lakhs
*Included because distance is less than 40 kms and people won't mind travelling it, usually takes an hour.
Vishakapatnam metropolitan area population: 20,91,811. Lets assume it as 26 Lakhs as in 2015.
Can anyone deny to run a train from Vijayawada to Delhi for now least bothered about its route?
Other than these, Vijayawada is one of the biggest and busiest junction of Indian Railways, so there is good chance for passengers who hasn't got a confirmed ticket to go to there respective destination to think about a connecting train from this station.
Starting a train from BZA doesn't mean that passengers from other cities towns are not allowed to board it. No one will throw stones at passengers who comes from vishakapatnam or any city to board train. Everyone are welcome to board it from BZA and other places till destination giving no scope for regionalism.
It's unfair to snatch from a person who had got his new fruit for the first time after 10 years.
_________________________________________________
"Slow poke is due to VSKP or ECoR or by me, its your own Rail Zone buddy. Check out BZA NDLS AC Ex. Its pathetic. Why didnt you stage up this kinda show then?"
Had it been a BZA-NDLS AC Express, it would have been a Rajdhani in future. There are many empty premium slots from BZA, and its easier to change the slot. And what do you mean by "stage up a show"? Do you think I deliberately started this discussion? And if I would have deliberately started, I would have received objections to get this archived, but see the number of people agreeing with my view.
"DD is running empty and you want to cancel it, right? What have you done to get it cancel? Will SCR guys(you know the list) will support if VSKP says let it be VSKP TPTY/SC DD then ? Never na? you bring stats of some other trains."
I'm not concerned about someone here, but as far as I'm concerned, I always want a premium class day time connectivity between SC-VSKP via BZA with heavy average. You can check my imaginary trains, I've already chalked out two schedules (up and down).
"Check out for Cocanada WL figures and still runs it. They can add another AC or Gautami or some other but they are running a full train. Why hurry dude, just wait for the season to pick up. If it doesnt perform well, I will join you in terminating @ BZA itself."
As far as 22415 is concerned, I'm not hurrying. When you do not have demand for the existing trains, why start a new train? Gowthami is running with 24 coaches and is likely to become the first 26 coacher in Indian Railways owing to its demand. People prefer a WL ticket in Gowthami over a confirm ticket in Cocanada. Although numbers show high availability in Cocanada, I've seen Cocanada go with handful of last moment passengers. By the way, as IR is starting a concept of providing alternate accommodation, Cocanada will take the load of Gowthami, at least in future.
Can you show me the demand of Gowthami in Link/Samata/SJ? SCR introduced AC Express trains like Cocanada only because the first preferred train is overflowing.
"RL or PQWL is not the concern, The total demand stands the same. And if its disaster from VSKP to NDLS, then forget BZA, even CBN also cant help to get patronage. Clear?"
You never know how a person is booking a ticket. As I've already quoted message written by my friend Vamsee Teja few paragraphs above, you can get answer for this point in that paragraph.
"If this is not Rajdhani, then AP - Amravathi has clear chances of getting another Rajdhani kinda train. If this is given to only BZA, who else can demand a Rajdhani?"
Why do you want a train from VSKP when there is no demand at all? Why not put one from BZA and make it Rajdhani in future?
"Rajdhanis are invented in ages old where only capitals are crowded. with the crowd Ameerpet is having, they can start Ameerpet (Nature Cure Hosp) - Vizag train also. Come out of concepts. They arent working."
If you come out of concepts, the result is a slowpoke train, just like 22109 and 22415. We had a nice concept of Duronto, which was not properly utilized. Every concept does work, only if you implement it perfectly. If you start a Duronto Express between two places which has good end to end passengers, it will click. But If you start a Duronto between two places where trains are full just because less quota, then it will not click.
"YPR GR TT will change, I know the new TT also but why was it changed ? What were you doing then ? Did you raise your voice just the way you raised for Diverted trains in IRFCA ? Pradyu meeda EDavaDam kaadu, lOkam chooDu."
YPR GR TT was changed because of increase in frequency of other trains. And in that route, asking for a better overnight slot was not possible. By the way, I'm unsure if the train will be punctual with the new timetable. BTW, if there is one person whom I give respect among the VSKP RFs, then it is you.
"Drnt are non stops commercially and enjoy high prestige. BBS BNC Prem rocks and much better than hwh ypr Drnt. So tomo, you cant ask for a similar train from VSKP to SBC in same way. They are a different league."
Premiums enjoy the Duronto style preference, while making the timetable or while they are in the move.
"SHM SC express is just a piece of morsel SCR for SER to run a LHB during Didi period and hence it runs. If HWH - HYD can get a AC Express, why cant VSKP NDLS AC Express."
SHM-SC may be a train started in ministerial whim, but it helps many last moment passengers who get heavy WL in Falaknuma/East Coast.
"There is only 1 proper daily irritating train and thats Link. SJ and Samatha are running and will run due to consistent demand. Pls dont bring that train which runs to Amritsar now."

"Its not having contacts and even if we have contacts, all patriots spurge up asking for proofs. Our members are capable of asking Haribabu for proofs in press conference."
I don't know what you are referring to, but I believe in the information which is out through the appropriate person.
"Which ONT you are speaking from SC to VSKP ? AC express ? Its much slower than Godavari and GR.
Check from Nagavalli slot and how great SCR handles."
I'm talking about AC Express, and yes its much slower than Godavari and GR. But its only running because a rake is lying empty and there is demand in passengers for a weekend train. Nagawali's slot is like such. 14 hours between VSKP-SC. Whats there to talk about SCR here?
Cheers.

I'm afraid I may not be able to agree with your view of 'many' people going to BBS to catch Rajdhani because the direct trains from VSKP are having availability. And going by your logic, the new train should have been in the route of BZA-NDLS via VSKP, BBS, because no matter what train you provide between VSKP-NDLS via BZA, they are going to use the same Coro/EastCoast/Hirakud to catch BBS Rajdhani/Duronto.
Let me be a bit more clear, say I take VSKP-NDLS via BBS by taking Konark + BBS Rajdhani even though I have availability in Swarna Jayanti- I take that route because it gives me a convenient timings. So if you plan a train on the lines of Swarna Jayanthi,...
more...

which I have ignored due to the inconvenient timings, do you think I will take the new AC Express or will I continue in the same old Konark + BBS Rajdhani link?

Going by the availability pattern, its pretty much clear that BZA-NZM in the two trains you have mentioned apparently has demand.
Can I say your statement "So, if VSKP has demand, VSKP can get. VSKP has no demand, then there is no demand from BZA at all. This is derived from your own replies." stands false, now?
While I absolutely agree that this train provides a better quality connectivity but until Eluru (one station before Vijayawada), Swarna Jayanthi and Link have the same quota which VSKP has. So technically the usage by the people of VSKP not just belongs to VSKP, but is the usage between VSKP-EE.
You may show me 19 trains (excluding 22415) between BZA-NZM/NDLS, but can you show me one train which has a good 200+ availability on its ARP?
And secondly do you think BZA will get a dedicated Rajdhani class train after the introduction of 22415?
Undoubtedly 22415 is a boon to BZA, I'm not disagreeing to that point. But why run it until VSKP when existing trains which are running from VSKP-NDLS are showing healthy occupancy with a chance to the last moment travelers to get a berth, why not terminate it at BZA?
Reg Cocanada: I have personally seen many people at PRS counters of SC seeking for alternate train because Gowthami's ticket was unconfirmed. On the days Cocanada ran, they were happy to grab a berth.
Why not chalk a decent time table after delinking Dakshin? Presently Dakshin doesn't need increase in number of coaches, but Link needs. So may be Link could be given two more coaches under the "26 coach express trains" scheme, but I'm afraid it may not fulfill the demand. So a separate operational schedule, closely trailing Dakshin should be chalked out.
Nagawali is a Mail/Express class train, and it was not intended to run as a superfast. So I don't think 14 hours for 700 KMs is a poor schedule considering its not a superfast.
I too wish the TT of 22415 changes and people of VSKP make use of 22415 (now that its introduced, there is no looking back). I'm not criticizing VSKP in any manner, but I'm just telling that extension was somewhat unfair towards Vijayawada (based on my observations), and the existing trains from VSKP could have been manipulated to see that it provides better connectivity and make the people of VSKP use it. If VSKP still had demand, they could have demanded a new train :) .
No questions, and yes, lets go to Kamat on your next visit to Hyderabad. :)
Cheers.

BTW please have a look at 22416 NDLS-VSKP AC Express availability between NDLS-BZA:
