39/40 is Brindavan
7/8 is Bengaluru Chennai Mail
25/26 is Island (Used to run till Trivandrum)
23/24 is Chennai Mysuru Superfast (Used to run till Bangalore)
1067/1068 is Night Queen Passenger
I have a doubt about 213/214 Express as it matches with Tippu but on its page its mentioned that Tippu was introduced in 1980 and this timetable is of 1979.
No idea about 209/210 Mail.

Synopsis:
This schedule of Brindavan can even put MAS MYS Shatabdi to shame. A legendary fast train ruined by adding halts in the name of politics and slowing down.
For Bangalore Chennai Mail speed up  wasn't required as it has resulted in very less sleeping time 😅😅.
Chennai Mysuru and Island are speeded up.
Night Queen Passenger is permanently cancelled.

1/2 is Chennai Mangaluru Mail
5/6 is Nilgiri
19/20 is Chennai Thiruvananthapuram Mail
25/26 is Island (Used to run till Trivandrum)
27/28 is West Coast
41/42 is Chennai Alappuzha (Used to run till Cochin Harbour Terminus)
69/70 is Yercaud
75/76 is Kovai
81/82 is Kanniyakumari Pune Express ( Used to run between Trivandrum and Bombay V. T.)

Synopsis
Only Kovai a train which was once upon a time faster than CBE Shatabdi is slowed down by 1 hour rest all the trains are massively speeded up.

In 70's My love Brindavan used to be Shatabdi type train between Mas - SBC now degraded to Express cum SuperFast.
Much has not changed between Mas - SBC - MYS.
Mas - SBC - MYS section still living in 90's.

Now, everything is ruined. With an FEDL in place, train has only been slowed down. All thanks to SR.
