This train does have feasibility as per NWR's proposal to extend up to Rameswaram for two reasons apart from the fact of another train having more chances and feasibility to extend up to RMM, which is SGNR-TPJ Humsafar Express even though it bypasses majority of TN's imp station, not a problem though since it provides connectivity to UBL, MRJ. Main concern is, whether SCR agreed to this since its their rake and whether SR agreed to give path?

Now getting to the point about feasibility,
Reason

number 1. Having a slot all the way from NED up to RMM(path of 09519/20) via KCG with two-three options between KPD-RMM which can also save hrs of time to do PM at RMM.

2. Sufficient lie-over time and turn around time at NED(Existing RSA of this train can be arranged with other rakes, now that LHB conversion is happening frequently)

This route/extension will provide Rajasthan, Gujarat connectivity to Major TN, AP and TL towns and cities compared to Humsafar~ some stations being first time and others, additional connectivity.

Likewise it also provides good Pilgrimage Connectivity (TPTY, TNM, TPJ/Entire Mainline, MDU, RMM) to AP, TL and MH pilgrims and Vice Versa.

What do you think?

Agree Agree Agree
I agree that connectivity wise this extension will serve better but it is way much circuitous (Already MDU - OKHA plies on a similar route). But, I am not against it or supporting the extension though.
.
I think you are underestimating the connection SGNR TPJ provides for TPJ or if it will get extended to RMM. TPJ SGNR is one single train passing through many major metropolitan cities like Salem, Bengaluru (K.R.Puram), Davangere, Hubbali, Belagavi (one can take buses here for Panjim), Kolhapur (from Miraj/belagavi), Pune, Kalyan (for Mumbai), Surat, Vadodara, Ahmedabad,
...

Marwar(for ajmer), Jodhpur, Bikaner through shorter route and convenient timings. Among the above places, many doesn't even have their direct train to rameswaram say for eg. Mumbai.
.
Moreover, it does byepass only Jolarpettai at Tamilnadu. Even if it gets extended to rameswaram, it would be covering Ramanathapuram distri ct, western parts of sivagangai and pudukottai districts, Tiruchy, karur, namakkal, salem, thirupathur districts which is obviously not just a small part of tamilnadu. Agree it can get more halts in Tamilnadu though.
.
I genuinely believe that extension of SGNR - TPJ - SGNR would be one of the best bet for Rameswaram in terms of connectivity.

Agree.. Vasco Velankanni express has hell lot of slack between Chickbanavar and KJM and also its Erode stop can be eliminated and diverted to be run via Namakkal. I recently travelled in this train from UBL to TPJ and train easily could have reached TPJ at 6.30 AM, if it wasn't made to crawl right from BAW to KJM and also 1 hour of stoppage at Erode Jn.

In return direction too, it really crawls all the way from KJM to BAW wasting 2 hours.
