HWH-YPR and HWH-TPTY Humsafars r not daily trains, so notrequired to be shifted to SHM

I am nowadays advising those who can afford to take flight to kolkata. As for myself, always travelled by train only by MAS-HWH mail, TPJ-HWH, Coromandel or other trains. In future may prefer flights if these inconvenient timings are not changed.
