Thanks for very useful info, it was just my guess because Covai side had train built first for exporting cotton from the hinterland there to Madras port and could be definitely the oldest line in south. Even in the books I've read there was only info about Goods,fare, earnings and types of goods. Not a passenger service,only fares were written between stations .

Train's TT need to be restored as finally perfect links got to defend Inauguration instated by Mr. Madras Mail who is requested to restore previous value.
