Sir,
This refers to the running of Vande Bharat and Shatabdi trains between Mysuru (MYS) and MGR Chennai Central (MAS), as below:
1. Train No. 20607 Vande Bharat leaves MAS at 05.50 am, reaches MYS at 12.20 pm. In the return, Train No. 20608 leaves MYS at 13.05 pm and reaches MAS at 19.30 pm.
2. Train No 12007 Shatabdi leaves MAS at 06.00 am and reaches MYS at 13.00pm. In the return journey, Train No. 12008 leaves MYS at 14.15 pm to reach MAS at 21.30 pm.
As seen, both the trains are travelling in the same direction with a few minutes gap. This results in stoppage of a few trains moving in the same direction for 30 minutes to 1 hour at intermediate stations.
Can Railways see that one train starts from MYS and the other train from MAS? Moreover as both trains do not operate on Wednesday, can the rest day for these trains be staggered?
On behalf of the rail users, I request the Railway Ministry and the South Western Railway (SWR) to look into this and do the necessary changes in the larger interest of the train travellers.

There is already a train from Mysore to Chennai in the early morning and returning back to Mysore the same day. I understand VBE occupancy is very poor and advice to remove shatabdi
this seems to be very good solution so that there are super fast trains with similar departure timings from mysore n chennai.
the existing train from mysore to chennai with morning departure is not as fast as shatabdi or VB
As on date, 12007/MGR Chennai Central – Mysuru Shatabdi Express operates on all days except Wednesdays. Why is the Railways following same rules for 20607/MGR Chennai Central – Mysuru Vande Bharat Express?
Instead they can operate 20607/MGR Chennai Central – Mysuru Vande Bharat Express on all days except Tuesdays instead of Wednesdays
Won’t it benefit passengers travelling between Chennai to Mysore and back?
Any reason/logic same rule is followed? Can it be changed to benefit the passengers? It is revenue for railways
Hs Seshadri
Weird name you have there!
These new express trains trains are for Tamils to come to Bangalore and Mysore.
Narendra Modi, does not care for Karnataka. He is going to sanction the underground train tunnel beneath the Bandipur Sanctuary, opposed by
the moustached idiot Bommai,but preferred bybthe Kerlala CM.
At present a super fast train starts from mys. But VB can start at 7.00 abc 8.30 mas 12.30 or 13.00 hours.
But there will be a chasing from SBC to mas between shatbdi, lalbaug n VB both onward n return.
VBE was a foolish intrusion just to site Shathabdi.
VBE prices are 70% more than that of Shathabdi. If Shathabdi is stopped who will travel in VBE at that price??
Railway people they never do any thing useful to the passengers. They never think about convenience of passengers and profitable to Railways. They are Most outdated lethergic and use less fellows in the world.
Hey posters
This Vande Bharat train is the brain child of your dear PM, Narenddra Modi. He wants this not for you in Karnatata, but for Tamil Nadu Tamils, who are increasingly emigrating and settled in Bangalore, and look for Mysore as another settlement city.
That simole.

By introducing vande bharat is there any time reduction in travelling (than shatabdi). I hope that govt will gradually focus and develop
Dear Mr. Borre gowda
Don’t understand your point. As much as I can see it is very radical. I’m from kannada speaking family settled in chennai. There are scores of kannada people who have settled all over tamilnadu and we never felt that we are out of Karnataka. The entire south india follow similar culture and have a bonding with similar language constructs.
Rather getting dismayed, You should feel honoured that tamils are coming to your place as they get better economic prospects which they were not getting in their native places.
Hey @Raghavendran
So, you speak Kannada, and cannot spell my name ! What an idiot! Your name should be ”Raghavendra then -that is proper Kannada name!
Talk about Tamils in N India. They berate you as Madrasis, for very good reasons. Decades ago, Shiv Sena rightly hounded Tamils in Matunga in Bombay, as these Tamils wanted it be a patch of Tamil Nadu!
Do you really know Kannada? If you did, the alphabets of Tamil and Kannada are so different. Tamil language structure, does not have ‘mahap prana’- that is you cannot write ‘dha” in Tamil, for example! Look again at the 2 alphabets. If you cannot notice the glaring difference of Kannada’s extended alphabets, to give it a rich Sanskrit-reflecting gravitas, you really are a big ignoramus and a fool!!
Your script has changed recently a few decades ago, into what EVR , that mad person crafted, thanks to DMK and DK!!
I am not dismayed-you should learn English too, but am angry, because, you Tamils never pick up a local language. Swathes of Bangalore where Tamils liv-migrating from heavily populated Tamil Nadu ( Tamils breed like rats, and hence their state is so congested), to seek work and after they come they tend to monopolise with their language. Tamil Nadu has one of the heaviest densities of population in India!
There is nothing in common between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, your Pongal is so different from our Ugadi.
You are so shallow and ignorant.
Railway now a days are behaving strange to a foolish level of sorts. I have been travelling between Nagpur to Durg or Raipur or Bilaspur for court cases for which appearance at particular time is mandatory or your case is postponed by 4 to 6 months. Since six months or rather beginning of the 2022 all the trains are running 7 to 8 hours late causing mess in your peaceful life. Then there are usual overcrowding with huge luggage ( Indians think it their birthright to carry 5 to 6 times the luggage they need ). There is compulsory disturbances by Transgenders for extortion of money and as usual vendors and beggars in every coach. Seems the GRP , TT and Station master are in their payroll. But i must also reveal that bloody all most all stupid passengers are either handicapped with dumbness or deafness or show extra care for these extortionists as if they remember their own father mother brother sister or relatives for which their heart goes.
