It will further terminate and originate from Tambaram for three months more with effect from 09 May 2024
It is wrong in many ways due to extension punctuality has gone down I think it may even get extended to madurai or Kanniyakumari

There's no demand of extension or proposal. Grand Trunk is a dedicated train for Chennai residents , enroute and is unlikely to be extended. Tambaram is a new terminal and is being made accessible to nearby areas. Just because it's moved to TBM temporarily won't call up for extension to Madurai or Cape. Both of them have dedicated trains to Delhi and even if people want to come to Madras and board they can happily do so.

For Bangalore we have ample space at SMVT which will be exclusively used. Most of ECR SER NFR ER ECOR trains and specials are now from SMVT alongside South zones too.

_/\_ Great Great Useful
Here are the pictures! These are from CC class , Unsure about EC. The Rotis were made super delicious in form of Naan, they stay hot and soft for immediate consumption. The curries aren't spicy at all. They are delicious. One can easily have them. We also get a small salt sachet and a sanitizer.

The Onion stuffed samosa was warm and delicious too. You'll only get 1 of them. There's no 'Yes' for asking extra. However after Tea is served one can ask for an extra coffee.

I travelled with family hence 3 of us got 3 different juice flavors - Apple, Mixed Fruit and Guava. The Haldiram's were same for all the passengers. I guess the Haldiram's mixtures keeps changing.

Butterscotch is always great. Lucky to get it on that day. Not sure if Vanilla is served too.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
