Re# 6201379-6              
Then, I guess it will be as one single train from MV to ED via PGT?

It is better run as 2 trains, from MV to PGT/PGTN and another as PGTN/PGT to ED, to avoid confusion.

With this time-table, 16729/30 will work as a SF between VM and NJT as well as return. (Would be useful as there are no late night trains from Kanyakumari to Trichy)
