I had created one chain 18695/Σ Pune Bidar Bi- Weekly Express ΣChain recently on IRI. Please let me know whether the booking clerk will allow me to avail the telescopic benefit for this chain from Pune-Parli-Bidar. Why this question is both of the trains have common route from Latur Road junction to Parli Vaijanath and the Latur Road junction being the first station on the common route. As far as I know the clerks try to find the shortest distance while giving the telescopic benefit. Hence I am skeptical that the clerk will allow this booking and rather he would suggest me Latur Road junction as the interchanging point. I do not want Latur Road junction to be the interchange point considering the early morning hours and waiting for 4 hours for the connecting train. Parli would be very convenient as there is rake reversal and even if the Amravati or...
more... Nanded train gets delayed I would be able to catch the connecting Bangalore train at Parli. Please provide your valuable opinion. Bahut dino se yeh sawal pareshan kar raha tha. Mujhe apne ghar jaana hain aur yeh ek bahut hi convenient chain hain. Main sare IRI ke doston se agrah karoonga ki woh aapne vichar yahan par mandan karein.
