22222/22221-->Aapli Rajdhani, Asli VIP number waali - Somanko

Yo, back in the day this train was putting in more miles with those loco flips at Yesvantpur and Erode. They used to hustle and bustle in less than 2 hours at Tirunelveli. Now, they got more time to roll and maybe even catch up if they hit SMVB later like the Pondicherry Chalukya.

Steering this bad boy to Tuticorin ain't gonna go down smooth. Folks from the boonies around here would rather hop on at Tirunelveli than Tuticorin since it's smack dab in the middle. When they stretched this bad boy to Tirunelveli, Tuticorin had 16235 and 17235 hadn't even rolled out yet.

Tuticorin may not have a ride to Mumbai as of now, but you could argue to reroute this bad boy to Tenkasi (through the shorter route) or Rameswaram, both of which don't have a direct line to Mumbai or Bangalore but have a ton of folks itching to ride.
