RailFans don't miss their train. Why? Because they go to the station HOURS before the actual departure of their Train - to watch OTHER trains depart. - Prince Maan

Yes absolutely. Who would have thought that with an avg speed of 44 km/hr and close to 100 halts, it will be favoured by so many people !! ....not only migrants , but also serves as daily connectivity to Chennai,Vellore,CBE, Cochin from the cities in Jharkhand, Orissa,Vizag etc
