  • Video #264 - a journey in AC 3-Tier from Madurai Jn to Guruvayur by the 16327 Madurai-Guruvayur Express. This is a train that operates via Virudhunagar, Sivakasi, Tenkasi, Sengottai, Punalur, Kollam Junction, Kayamkulam, Kottayam, Ernakulam Town and Thrissur.
    This was probably our last journey with a Diesel Locomotive on this route - we got a WDP4D of Golden Rock shed on this journey. Electrification is completed on this route - and is awaiting commissioning of Punalur Traction Substation - trains would run with electric locos after that!
    This train was created by amalgamating three trains - the Madurai-Sengottai Passenger, Sengottai-Kollam passenger and Punalur-Guruvayur Express. It now runs as an Express, with three reserved coaches (1 AC 3-Tier and 2 Sleeper) and 11 unreserved coaches. The train has a total load of 14 coaches - and cannot increase due to restrictions in platform length at many stations on the route.

      If we set in 20 km/_hr ,maybe speed will increase or decrease in gradients automatically due to gravity.if engines are synchronized by governor controls (or any PLC), both will work as per pre-setted parameters

    You can not say double standards in SR. TN esp Coimbatore also says the same. Virtually no trains on converted routes of TN while many CBE trains got extended to Kerala. Just see the Passenger revenue - MAS and MS contributing almost Rs.1900 crores whole the whole of Kerala giving Rs.800 crores. Add another Rs.650 crores for CBE, MDU and TPJ divisions and you will see almost 1:4 Kerala TN revenue.

    • @Platform7byBinaiSankar
      @Platform7byBinaiSankar  Před 2 měsíci

      Unfair comparison. SR operates 3900kms in TN and 1047kms in Kerala. Despite the lesser kilometers, Kerala contributes higher revenue. There is a 1:4 difference in kilometres as well. The allotment of LHB coaches clearly shows the double standards of SR. Almost every major intercity trains in TN run with LHB coaches - look at the status of Kerala. There is just one train with LHB rake. You speak of trains getting extended to Kerala. How come you forget about trains getting extended to TN as well? Amrita got extended, Palaruvi got extended - all those TEN bound trains from Konkan side, etc. The double standards of SR is evident - closing your eyes doesn't help.

      @@Platform7byBinaiSankar Expenditure is in proportion to income and I didn't add freight revenue. If you do that the ratio will be much higher.There are so many trains in TN with ICF rakes like Nilgiri, Boat Mail, Rameshwaram, Uzhavan the list is endless. CBE SBC Inter City became Kochi Inter City Amrita was proposed as TVC CBE but became TVC PGT and then extended to MDU to enable people from Kerala to visit Palani and Mdu. Now DD from SBC to CBE is being extended to PGT. TN has hardly train via Konkan as almost all are from Kerala and MAQ trains are Konkan's.Kerala has short distances and most people use regular trains with season tickets while MAS has dedicated suburban network from British days. There was a report that if Kerala becomes a Zone, it would be bankrupt as it is funded from TN revenues.
      I fully agree that development should come everywhere as we are one country one people. So let's not have this discrimination business. I am from CBE with poor connectivity to Kerala as only small quota is given.

      @@kanakasabhainatarajan7192 SBC CBE was extended to ERS due to poor patronage. Same with the DD. The DD is a walk in train. Amrita was introduced as TVC PGTN - it was never to CBE, and was not planned either. This train was introduced at the behest of the then MoSR O Rajagopal. Coming to "expenditure" - provision of amenities is not an expenditure. When resources are limited, it should be distributed equally - when it is not, that becomes a case of double standards. If you say the list of trains in TN with ICF coach is endless, it's much longer in Kerala.

      @@Platform7byBinaiSankar You can make up stories as you feel like. CBE SBC Inter City even in 2002 was full always. DD to CBE is full always even as late as yesterday when I travelled. Amrita was proposed as overnighter to TVC from CBE but turned out to be PGT and it was always empty after ERS. I travelled so many times to PGT and changed train or bus to CBE. So it was extended to Pollachi still empty and then to MDU again still not full except on WE.So don't fake up stories. Any way I won't watch your videos as you seem to be petty politics minded.
