This train is Jam packed always. They saw heavy traffic when its running via Yelhanka so probably SR decided to make this train go via Bengaluru.
You are right , GK should get LHB . Its old and prestigious train. Hope SR gives them
I...
more... dont agree navjeevan is crawler. Navjeevan is the SF train . It feels Crawler cause of long route . It had bad rakes when it had RSA with Cheran and maintained at CBE. So they changed it to Basin Bridge maintanence and over the time they gave LHB to it and changed TT. And its a "gujarat train" so if you know what I mean.
Yes a train defnitely needed from Chennai central to Amristar. Its a long time pending. Maybe over decades. SR neglecting it,
