Need suggestions/opinions,
Former Meenatchi Express, now Rameswaram express is running towards TPTY for decades, but frequency remains minimal even now. Multiple requests have been made but it remains the same. Now coming to the point, Adding a rake to this train may make this train a daily train, but Adding two rakes to this train can make this train a daily operational train along with his RSA Partner RMM-CAPE. It's not ending here, Apart from this two daily trains, like @jigarthanda bro's img train/blog/post/5847799 , a daily train from CAPE/TEN to TPTY is also getting true. With this, South TN's Essential daily connection to TPTY also gets fulfilled along with much needed proper South TN connectivity to TNM, TRK & VLR.
...

To conclude, this can make three daily trains possible and Entire Chord line and Mainline will have TPTY connectivity for lifetime.
What do you think guys? Correct me, if I'm wrong and Any other ideas?
