ICF gon' stay put. C&W Workshop gotta move somewhere else cuz of that.

Beach station all filled with South (and soon North) suburban trains. Royapuram (needs loco shed moved) was thought of, but then nope.

Another prob with Perambur Carriage Works would be what's up with the current suburban lines as they gon' be stuck between the long-distance lines and the new terminal (which gotta be on the south side).

The traffic in the suburbs have been changed so that West Suburban lines start from Central and North Suburban lines lead to Beach.

You're right about the West Suburban line. A lot of folks from the West side switch over from MAS Suburban to Park Station (or Park Town for the MRTS line).

The North line is also like this but soon, all services will go to MSB and not MAS to get rid of the bottleneck at BBQ. This way, the North line will connect to the South line at MSB. Moreover, there's the Wimco Nagar Airport Metro Line connecting North-South.

There's no direct West-North link for suburban trains (not much traffic for it anyways) while many long-distance trains can now bypass MAS. This system will definitely mess with the traffic flow for such a terminal and vice versa.

KR mein stabling lines ya pani ki suvidha nahi hai trains ko in beech ke stations par khatam karne ke liye.

Ve MAO/VSG tak chalani padegi jo sambhav hai lekin yeh slots consume karegi jo MAQ se aage ke naye trains ke liye behtar istemal ho sakte hai.

Ek achha number Kerala trains abhi Byndoor, Kundapura, Murdeshwar mein ruk rahi hai.

Ernad/Parasuram ka ek PM ko TVC division mein shift kiya jana chahiye MAQ CDO ke liye naye trains ke liye.

Kerala be getting all dem long-distance trains mainly 'cause they had the capacity fo' it. After maxing out at KCVL, now they be sendin' mo' trains to CBE and TEN. Over in Gujarat, they be gettin' stuck wit' dem trains from the South 'cause Mumbai-Ahmedabad section be too packed.

KR only got one terminal in MAO taken by trains from the North. Coastal Karnataka be needin' connections to North Karnataka but ain't no SWR trains goin' south of MAO and SR trains goin' east of MAO.

Good ol' Poorna Exp be battlin' all odds and still kickin' it. KR be blockin' new trains sayin' they got issues, only givin' in when politicians be pressurin' 'em.

Kerala ke paas sabse zyada long-distance trains ka ek wajah hai kyunki unke paas capacity thi, jab KCVL terminal shuru hua toh wahan bahut saari trains aane lagi. Jab unki capacity full ho gayi, toh additional trains CBE aur TEN ja rahi hain. Interior Gujarat ko Mumbai-Ahmedabad section mein capacity ki kami hone ke wajah se in trains se bhara pad raha hai.

KR ke paas MAO mein ek coaching terminal tha (RN ke pass kuch passenger trains bhi hain) jo uttar se aane wali trains se bhara hua tha. Tab SR MAQ CDO ko south-bound trains se bhar deti hai. Coastal Karnataka ko sab taraf se neglect mil raha hai.

Coastal Karnataka ko North Karnataka se connection ki zarurat hai par koi bhi SWR train MAO se south nahi jaati aur koi bhi SR train MAO se east nahi jaati. Ek namesake exception hai jise hum Poorna Exp kehte hain jo abhi bhi badi mushkil se lad rahi hai (monsoon timings, Braganza Ghat doubling, alternate bi-weekly SF train) beech mein jo inter-zonal cold war hai.

KR ne naye trains ke liye har baar operational constraints ka bahana dekar spoil sport khela hai aur sirf tab samjhauta kiya jab badi raajneeti dabav dala gaya tha.

SA division has started building 3 pit lines at PTJ.

POY only needs trains to run via CBE-POY-PLNI sector, but PGT division has the final say.

Seems like Railway Board made this happen, as Salem division could've sent it to MTP instead if they just wanted to ease congestion at CBE.

The argument about changing zones might make sense here. The SBHR-MAQ passenger gets special treatment and goes to Bayline PF first, while three other trains (the crowded Kannur passenger, Pondicherry bi-weekly, and 12686 MAS SF) have to wait for the tracks to clear because the passenger train (even though it's only 5 cars and an SR train) has to go from the Kankanady branch line to the other end of the Shoranur-Mangalore Central double line to reach PF1 bayline. It would be much easier to just receive the Gomteshwara Express at PF 4/5. If they terminate it at MAJN, nobody at SBHR or KBPR will take the train anymore and they'll be stuck with the passenger train, which comes half an hour earlier. Similarly, extending 12134 wouldn't be good for SR because it would take away even more passengers from Matsyagandha. It's not fair that SR is rejecting these proposals without considering other options, like they did with the Bijapur special. SR needs to be held accountable for this.

Associations gotta demand SWR to extend the run to Karwar via RSA with Panchaganga Express and make it a daily thing.

Once they do that, they can have more power and make the Railway Board speed up the train eventually.

SR and KR got rid of two daily trains on this route (MAQ-MAO Intercity and the one to KAWR) and brought back this one, but it's slow as hell.

From Mangalore to Murdeshwar, this train is even slower than the old MAQ-MAO passenger.

Associations ko SWR se ek demand karni chahiye ki Karwar ke liye RSA ke saath Panchaganga Express ke extended chalne ka bhi shuru kar dena chahiye aur daily train bana deni chahiye. Phir unke paas zyada negotiation power hogi aur Railway Board ko train ko eventually speed up karne ke liye majboor kar sakte hain. SR aur KR ne is route par do purani rozana ki trains ko hata diya hai (MAQ-MAO Intercity aur ye jo KAWR tak chalti thi) aur isse beech mein restore kiya hai jisse super crawler banaya gaya hai. Mangalore se Murdeshwar tak, ye train purani MAQ-MAO passenger se bhi jyada slow hai.
