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.

Extension of existing trains/Utilization of lie-over rakes beyond MAQ will help in decongesting the terminal to allow more services.

1. 16585/86 SMVB MAQ train can be made to run upto Karwar like its predecessor. Will help a lot of pilgrims as the MAQ MAO intercity has also been discontinued and the erstwhile Verna passenger now officially departs prior to West Coast's arrival.

2. 16159/60 MS MAQ Exp instead of being stabled at MAQ, could be assigned a 4th rake and its rake can be used for a new overnight service to Interior Karnataka (UBL or BAY) or as a Superfast upto Mumbai/Pune reducing the load on Netravati.

3. 16575/76 Gomteshwara Exp could be extended up to Karwar (effectively making it a daily along with 16515) or into Kerala with Loco reversal at MAQ.

4. 12685/86 can be assigned 2 additional rakes and facilitate through RSA another overnight service between MAQ and MAS/TBM via HAS and SMVT.

Above are trains which don't have PM @ MAQ/MAJN, and could easily generate additional patronage in their respective routes and also decongest both stations.

Re# 5439702-1              
Proactive initiative as Yelahanka is already congested. But question mark looms over rega0rding Land acquisition at this point.

And better late than never, SWR should also explore the option of a bypass line connecting Hosur line towards Krishnarajapuram at the Baiyyappanahalli interchange. Will eliminate a whole lot of bottlenecks in relation to suburban traffic between Electronics City and Whitefield.
