Actually speaking, no man in manned level crossings (i mean the gates are levelled ones) . Thats the issue there. Some 2 gatekeepers will be onboard this train and will stop the train before every gate, close the gate, then after the train passes, then the gate keeper at the rear of the DEMU alights and closes the gate. This is the story at every gates. Only 18 gates among 80 are manned in manned level crossings till date.

So, as The TT Was itself 6 hrs, The first run was...
more... operated for 9h 45 m for mere 140 or so Kms, which lead to cancellation of 06848, which the first day run itself became failure. It reached KKDI at 17:45 Only Y.day. such are the operational difficulties there.
