Re# 3041832-42              
i agree with you , sametime we need to consider the travel time of down south people especially (NCJ, TEN, CVP, VP, MDU). so its better one Andyodata via Main line , one via Chord line... it will cater the needs of all the passengers
if one via run Chord line : Ariyalur, Vridachalam , jayankondam people can benefit

Then you need to realise that Tiruchendur express became daily due to ML patronage only. It was mere a weekly express when it was via CL.
