Great Disagree:Not feasible
This train should be made to run with LHB rake with RSA to Narayanadri SF express.

Train should leave TVC at 06:30 AM to arrive Lingampalli at 10:00 AM -- can leave as Narayanadri at evening at 17:00 PM to arrive at Tirupati around 05:00 AM and PM the whole day and the return train will leave TPTY around 18:00 PM to arrive Lingampalli at 06:00 AM to leave Lingampalli as Sabari express around 13:00 PM to arrive TVC at 16:30 PM with SC at TVC

Line up in front and behind shabari is huge bidirectionally in KL i believe. Though it can take FEDL advantage and can get speeded up, every train front and back needed to be altered if this is supposed to get speeded up, needing an entire revamp. I wonder how they will do it.

TN yes speed up maybe possible but not to forget that it enters KPD - TPTY single line stretch at prime slot where significant number of crossings it should handle and also should consider guntur - pagidipalli section as

Rayalaseema eventually got speeded up since that TPTY SC became fully electrified double line long back and got LHB, which can easily touch 130 in Guntakal division as well.

Re# 6078223-30              
TVC departure at 0630 means conflict with Venad, Parasuram, Raptisagar, that whole slot is just jam packed with fast passenger like trains. Instead of aiming for SF, SC should just extend it to NED via MUE - NZB or BIDAR via VKB. Basically, a station with PM facilities or just continue RSA arrangements with 4 dedicated rakes for this train. At this point, I don't see SR budging even a bit. If only trains ran faster in Kerala without being fast passengers, we wouldn't have had this issue. Best bet would be an evening departure from TVC for faster schedule in Kerala or departing behind Kerala SF. Even then, there is a risk of getting caught up in the huge line up of Night time SF that will simply overtake Sabari, and PM at SC will become an issue, rescheduling, many know how that is going to work out.

Re# 6078223-31              
A year back there was a proposal for rake sharing of Nethravathi & Matsyagandha which meant that the Nethravathji towards Mumnbai would have had to leave TVC early. As a result of its preponement, there was also a proposal to make Sabari exp leave early as compared to its current time so that PF is available in TVC. There was also a talk about making
Sabari leave from KCVL instead of TVC. The dep time was almost the same time as what you have suggested here. But I guess none of them have materialized till date. Nethravathi rake sharing with Matsyagandha is on cards. Maybe once that happens cascading effect might probably see Sabari leave TVC slightly earlier

Re# 6078223-32              
Its going to change to 06:30 AM time anyway - Netravati and Madsyagandha are going to have RSA and Netra's time is going to change around 07:00 AM or 07:30 AM from TVC - Not sure about the date when , so in the source it said Sabari is going to be advanced by 15 mins which will make it leave around 06:30 AM from TVC. So this plan that I gave is anyway going to happen cause of the RSA proposed.

Correct, I think the RSA is going to happen soon for Netra and Matsya and Sabari will be advanced anyway. They mentioned in article Sabari will be advanced by 15 mins, I assume if they do that it's better to make it SF and take PM and run as dedicated train or run as SCR train with Narayanadri RSA with speed up in timing.

If u people are so much concerned of this train TT why dont u people of Tamil Nadu submit a letter to DRM office and DRUCC and ZRUCC members and let the PM go to TVC or KCVL. None of them shows interest in demanding, only people are fit for shouting at the place where nothing can be made. This is the worst train with Worst TT and how can u even think it would be possible for PM in SC/CHZ following its current TT. Mainly it's impossible to maintain the train with 4 Rakes. The application is also in its final phase with SR Zone there is a chance of increasing its AVG speed to 56KMPH travel time between 28hrs to 27hr 30min. The TT is designed accordingly to the corridor blocks.

If the Tamil Nadu portion people are that worried either utilise the lay-over of MAS-PGT exp and introduce a new daily train to Hyderabad with additional 2 Rakes with PM at MAS via- SBC

It's the headache of SR for their people, not SCRs be happy they are atleast operating one daily train, if SR proposes obviously SCR would have accepted since 2019 IRTTC they were demanding for a new weekly train and SR and RB were constantly declining it

Looks Ike you travel in sabari express daily to Kerala that you are he'll boubt to change in timings. This train is running with same timings from past 25 years and and many travellers enroute are used to timings and change will effect them. It's ridiculous to say put a proposal to SR to serve TN and its upto railways to identify routes and serve people otherwise people select their travel options.

Operational reasons also places a vital role in change of the train TT FYI. When The opposite zone shows 0% interest in taking it's PM, it's obviously the operating zone's work, since it's daily conversion the train was never independent. 1 year when NS HYB exp is extended till LPI sabari was operated by HYB with 4 rakes where the rake has the lay-over of 23hrs for PM and 12 hrs lay-over at TVC. Then the train was short terminated to SC to save one rake. Now ya it's the time to atleast set it's TT now with this new terminal.

you said it's ridiculous to put a proposal to SR to Serve TN the train which was introduced for Kerala must be convenient for KL travelers itself its none of their business weather the train is serving TN or not, the train which was introduced for the pilgrims who are traveling to sabari and Kerala is the ultimate intention of the train
Summer season Kerala travelers
From October till Complete Karthika Masam till Jan 3rd week sabari pilgrims

In fact the new TT is also designed in a way to benifit the travelers and pilgrims, I'm here not against any zone or anything, this train requires some justice that's it all the DRUCC and ZRUCC of SCR had planned accordingly with all the corridor blocks and The TT is designed, as this prestigious train need to be bought to Home division even while LHB conversation as it's maintenance is always been in the 3rd party division.
