Sakthivel~ 2699 blog postsWhy Railway board never took action for increasing the frequency of this train? Earlier it is the direct train to Varanasi but later during Lalu's time as a RM, this train was forcibly extended to Chhapra in 2008 and many South Indians were protested against this. I saw often this train many spiritual tour operators using this train usually above 50-60 ages for visiting Prayagraj Varanasi for doing Pind Daan, Pitru/Shraddha Karma etc also lots of South people visit this above places. Better SR can run another train to Varanasi via BPQ G NIR JBP route for shortest route if slot is not available and there is not even a daily train to Varanasi to Chennai since ages. Travelling in Sanghamitra/Bagmati/other weekly trains towards Bihar and changing at DDU is quite riskier as from an perspective of South Indian spiritual traveller.

SR should look and try to make this daily. If vivek can become daily then there is no reason to make GK cant become daily. if done sangamitra load can be reduced from chennai region to certain extend. As u said it can be via G NIR to reduce distance and time. Chennai to Varanasi a dedicated train is needed. this will suit that need perfectly.
They had made Vivek daily by first cancelling and short terminating Brahmaputra mail upto Kamakhya. Earlier Vivek ran via Asansol now via Dankuni. Later RB directed to change some train slots. Just like they can also increase frequency of GK (5 days via Gondia route and 2 days via normal route). I think this train should be extended upto Tiruchirapalli as well then only the "Ganga Kaveri" name will be suited. Can be run via Main line and Egmore as well for 5 days if SR agreed to increase frequency.
To accomadate something u need to do something. somehow operationally they made vivek daily which is fantastic move which gave assam &bengal to Kongu& kerala daily connection, which is madly needed one. like wise Ganga kaveri can be adjusted based on reality and demands. If u suggest TPJ, other people might suggest ED, MV and MYS for same reason. Let it be chennai central chapra or Tambaram chappra. going daily is important.
Mys already has dedicated bsb trains why one will suggest phatetic assumption by u
mysore have dedicated. but name kaveri means it is common for MYS ED TPJ TJ MV because river kaveri flows through all places. That is the reason. Even in one of our blogs we discussed this. so we cant justify TPJ extension with name sake Ganga kaveri. other operational reason it wont be issue.
