Would it be possible to break Chennai Mail's (12658) RSA with Karnataka Express & send it to TBM for PM with speed up? Instead of sending to TPJ😂
One extra rake would be needed.

Indeed. Anyways one good thing they can do is, changing the TT, both the sides. So, that we can reach the destination with some proper sleep and take city buses or metros to avoid getting looted from Autowalas. Both in Chennai and Bengaluru. Right now, Kaveri express from SBC to MAS has the good TT like this. Only thing is no LHB for that. :(

Re# 1683518-41              
That's not the point. One should look into the plight of passengers boarding BNCE and BWT as well in that chilly weather of SBC. Moreover, Kaveri's run should also not be disturbed by the Mail.
