Due to the closure of the DHN-CRP line this train has been cancelled indefinetely!
However in the recent meeting held between ER, ECR & SER at Garden Reach [News Entry# 306136] /news/post/306136 , This train along with a few others is said to be diverted between DHN & BKSC via PEH, BJE. The train may go via CRP or via IPTN, here I am using the IPTN line. as it is in the process of being further devloped .
I...
more... have tried to create a probable TT of this after this plan of diversion gets the nod from the RB. TT from DBG to DHN set to remain unchanged. Since the new TT needs to make way for 3 new rake reversals, I am doing away with the engine change at BJU and making the train run with diesel traction upto DHN. I also felt it necessary to speed up the train between CRJ & DHN to disturb the TT after DHN as less as possible... This was also done to prevent a probable slot clash with Black Diamond At DHN the E-loco gets attached at the front side while the D-loco remains attached at the hind-side, the train undergoes QLRs at PEH & BJE, at BJE the D-loco is detached and the train continues it's forward journey with the attached E-loco...
Due to the generous slack that this train was awarded in it's TT, it was possible to stretch the overall TT just by 15 mins, that is, this train takes only 15 mins extra to cover up the overall journey but the resultant TT had to be made tighter with less slack-time been alloted...
Please flag this train and suggestations for further improvement are always welcome :)
