I further inquired from the other southern district passenger . They inform that in the southern district Railway booking offices do not issue Reserved up to Tambaram in the Chennai Egmore ticket.
But, they also informed that some staffs whether it is legally or not permitted some times on ward journey Tambaram to Saidapettai but not permitted the reverse journey Mambalam to Saidapettai in the Egmore Reserved ticket.
I requested that all the Southern District Railway Booking Offices shall be issued in the reserved Egmore ticket RESERVED UP TO TAMBARAM if the passenger demand .This single ticket travel from Kovilpatti to Guindy shall be much benefited for the passenger travel from GUINDY to Porur,Ayyappathangal,Poonamalee and Velacherry etc.
