Hello to all 😊😊
For the first time in my life, I am seeing Urdu language (اردو زبان) vali Train TB (see pics 3, 4 and 6)in Andaman express looped in Middleline of Avadi Station.

This is the only one train connecting Chennai with areas above New Delhi like Ludhiana Jammu etc.
However,

the schedule of the train is very slow and having much halts on enroute. SR should make it as SF by removing useless halts and LHB rake too be given. Also RSA with MAS LJN express needed to be stopped.

Urdu signboard in Train board is very rare to see, usually we can find Urdu fonts in Station boards only where Urdu language is additional official there. Please comment which trains are having Urdu fonts like this in this train.

For your views....

This is my one and only Gurudwara of my home town, Avadi. Located on OCF road just backside of Avadi Bus stand. This Gurudwara was established in 1965 during the time when HVF and OCF were established here.

an Ardas will be conducted everyday on evenings, on Sunday there will be langar too.
Although I am a Tamil Hindu I love and like Sikhs very much and culture of Punjab. Many millitary officers irrespective of religious status visit this Gurudwara.

I see Sikhs of Punjab and Haryana here often due to posting here. Some even manage to speak local language Tamil too well. But there is no proper train connection to Punjab and Haryana to Tamilnadu or Chennai side.

I try to visit this place atleast in a month here for the blessings of Waheguru Ji and Sunday Langar.
Hope in future I will plan to visit Hazur Sahib Nanded, Sri Harmandir Sahib Amritsar. If I had passport I even plan to visit Kartarpur Sahib or if possible Nankana Sahib(Near Lahore Pakistan).

🙏Satnam Sri Waheguru Ji🙏

presenting Ekta Nagar Chennai weekly SF express giving honour to my home station as unscheduled halt........

Looped for overtaken by Lalbagh express......

B5 coach was horrible to look I don't know why even WR not giving proper maintenance.
6th pic is train large TB.

While departure, I spotted lady assistant locopilot for the first time,waved my hand and congrats her for success 😊

WR should increase the frequency of this train and Ahmedabad MAS SF express it will act as better alternative for Navjeevan express and 200kms lesser than by Navjeevan express. And extension to Rajkot/Jamnagar/Gandhidham/Bhavnagar/Veraval too required as Chennai doesn't have any inner connection with Gujarat.

For your views......
