Grand Trunk Express is truly the lifeline of Many Small towns lying on GT Route.
It provides a fast connection to the national capital Delhi and Chennai to many small stations lying on that route
No doubt it is somewhat slower than Prestigious Tamil Nadu Express but GT Is no less than TN Despite having more halts It is just 2hrs slower than TN Express betwee Chennai and New Delhi with 24 more halts.

mm kolaveri fan. I never come across this much dedication to this train since I joined here in 2012.
GT express to TN express is like comparing and saying Charminar is better than HYD MAS SF express. Deep down we all know, GT is awesome and so is HYD MAS SF express. Some trains gets their prestigious status by name
GT is older than TN and is equally faster with stop (recently speeded up too)

Except that old TT of 12840 was perfect. Now, it is like you can't even express it in words.
Grand trunk is literally like the grandpa of the MAS NDLS route, it likes to figure out and take it's time to serve all states. Tamilnadu is young adult around the block which just moves at a faster pace.

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

Let NR bring a daily train between Delhi and Chennai. Let it go to Madurai, Rameshwaram and Nagercoil 2 days each, with common schedule between Chennai and Delhi.
No point in extending existing prestigious trains connecting metros.

Let NR do the master stroke. Extension of GT will be a paralysis stroke for Chennai.
NR will never take initiative from his side they only wants SM in comparison of PM
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.
It's dedicated for enroute only solo daily train to ndls
Tamilnadu is dedicated one with less stops and faster
