Sir,
To meet the long pending demands of Coimbatore the Amritha Exp need not be fully extended. The train at present has 1 AC 2 -tier, 7 sleeper and 5 General compartments. The full capacity is 24 coaches. Hence the remaining composition of 2 AC- 3 tier, 6 sleeper and 3 general coaches can depart from Coimbatore and amalgamate at Palghat Jn. Also the weekly exp from Chennai to Trivandrum could be stopped at Coimbatore. Similarly the demand for an overnight service to Bangalore could be met by stopping the Yeswantpur- Cannanore tri -weekly Exp at Coimbatore and increasing the frequency of the Ernakulam- Bangalore bi -weekly Exp to tri- weekly or four times a week. The railways need not wait for the next Budget to effect these changes which is in no way affecting the people of any region and will only be beneficial as also being immediately feasible. They can do it in way of a special annoncement before the release of the Railway Timetable in July. I hope the Railway authorities will do the needful.
