And that's why people always prefers TAMIL NADU EXPRESS first and GT as a second backup, if tickets are full in TN EXP.

Yes there is unnecessary slack overtake by many trains can be avoided between NDLS BPL AP Express which departs four hours after it also overtakes this train

Is this train permanently shifted to Tambaram ? Due to its extension average speed reduced ideally this train deserves speed up and its counterpart too

Re# 5965413-32              
Correct it used to run from Peshawar Current Pak to Mangalore via AP, TN. I am not saying the same. Since PM at MAS it cant be extended to south TN but they can still do it to ASR. A dedicated train is always needed from MAS to ASR. Its been a long time demand.

Re# 5965413-33              
Yes any train would make sense except TN and Delhi Rajdhani and Garibrath (GB production stopped). Maybe they can start a new Humsafar that would leave MAS at 15:30 PM and arrive Delhi at 21:00 PM and to arrive ASR at 06:00 AM and return could be the same to leave ASR at 13:00 PM and to arrive NDLS at 21:30 PM to arrive MAS at 07:00 AM. In that case it will be a new train like Abhi mentioned.

Do IR still manufactures HUMSAFAR Rakes ? If not Humsafar, AC SF Express would work still.
