Not only this weekly has MON-FRI off, it also has atleast a 1 entire day off @NCJ
can any SR Railfan explain why is this the case for Chennai Nagercoil
Even RSA is not there, so this can be converted into Tri Weekly SF... please give your opinion on this.
please wait...Translate to EnglishEven though this train runs every week, it doesn't have any backup arrangements.
Chennai to Nagercoil train departs on Friday and arrives on Saturday.
Nagercoil to Chennai train departs on Sunday and arrives on Monday.
Not only does this train have a break from Monday to Friday, it also has at least one full day off in Nagercoil.
Can any Southern Railways fan explain why this is the case for the Chennai-Nagercoil route?
There is no backup arrangement even, so this train could be converted into a three times a week superfast train... What do you think about it?
