Comparing the intercity day trains in Kerala and TN....I wonder why KL day trains have more stops compared to their TN counterparts.....like vaigai and venad...both trains used to be the fastest once but now.....venad has slowed down due to the addition of too many stoppages while Vaigai Exp is almost up to the same speed as it had once.....even GUV - MS Exp has a decent run b/w TPJ - MS.....Why Kerala`s intercity / day trains are supercrawlers ???
