People of Madurai and Trichy are looking for a alternate faster train to Chennai apart from Vagai and pallavan and being 490km a train should start at Madurai at 600 to reach Chennai at 1200 return at 1630 to reach 2230 for day return travelkers but was stretched to Tirunelveli and run 60-70% after Madurai. Do you want to pull even further? Leaving the potential travellers of Madurai and Trichy which are cities next to Chennai?

No need to extend, if need TVC can ask dedicated VB with sleeper coach. It has good patronage and utilisation by TEN, VPT, MDU people.

TVC division never extend their trains to TEN, NCJ. let them extend any one Maveli, Malabar or Mangaluru express to TEN or NCJ, its log demand of south TN.
