Wonder what is the economic rationale behind the project since the Tadadi port has not been pursued.

The line will immensely benefit passengers though.

Re# 5783978-31              
The Intercity has not been reintroduced since the pandemic and in all likelihood looks definitely cancelled.

MAQ lost yet another daytime connection along the Konkan when the older SBC-KAWR Link Exp got speeded up and refashioned as Panchaganga Exp rerouted via the Padil bypass. That train was a reliable connection for the West Coast Exp in the past.

Think the 17311/12 is better left as it is and whatever Chennai-bound train should be via the shorter route via GTL-RU like the 17419/20.

Yes, those timings would really suit end-to-end passengers.

Possible to even operate it as a daily in RSA with 17309/10.

Central station has been congested for years, and no meaningful steps have been taken.

Alternate terminal at Royapuram, Tondiarpet, Salt Cotaurs or Avadi would have helped.

Suburban services bound for Gumidipoondi have not

been rerouted to Beach station and remain a headache for Express rail traffic at Basin Bridge.

Diverting trains like ALLP-DHN and Raptisagar via Perambur to free up Platform space would allow for 3-4 originating night trains.

Dependence on Egmore has come down thanks to the success of the satellite terminal. Tambaram is handling more volume, but the need for the 4th line upto CGL will become unavoidable a few years down the line.

CR and SCR can swap WADI-KLBG and AK-AKOT sections which would be mutually beneficial.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
