which are the top 5 trains in indian railways with maximum halts and minimum halts for any distance? For minimum halts,please do not consider duronto,rajdhani,garib rath,yuva,sampark kranti,shatabdi,jan shatbdi express trains and technical halts...only mail/express...i think maximum halt is for 13049 with 110 halts between howrah and amritsar and minimum halt should be new delhi kanpur shram shakti with no halts at all between ndls and cnb...but i would like to know top 5 in both categories...

Tamilnadu: 11th Stoppage is MAS
Tamilnadu: 12th Stoppage is NDLS
ASR-KOAA: 13th stoppage is KOAA
KOAA-ASR: 12th stoppage is ASR
Both way, Tamilnadu is winner.

#Sampoorna Kranti is winner for M/E, as its overnight, long distance & Stoppage/KM Average comes highest (if its M/E)
#If its just overnight long distance train, then all DRNTO are winner!!
