Extension is NOT needed. Let it remain undisturbed, being one of the prime train to pune and mumbai from chennai.

Plus this MAS CSMT deserves a premium train like humsafar/duranto, hope this comes up as well.

IMO, the issue is for achieving a daily train to mumbai, which can be done by merging the Balaji and NCJ CSMT into a single train via TPJ ALU VM TNM, duly making the frequency six times a week or daily, and making TVC CSMT (a slot sharer of the same to get a different slot), hence providing a daily connection from south of tamilnadu, Trichy, Ariyalur, Villupuram, thiruvannamalai and vellore to mumbai via Madanapalle, in its present slot with slight modification and speed up -
/train/210731/801/12282.
And return -
/train/210729/12282/801.
please wait...Translate to EnglishWe don't need no more extensions. Let it chill, stay as one of the top trains to Pune and Mumbai from Chennai. Also, MAS CSMT should get a dope premium train like Humsafar or Duranto. Hopefully it happens. In my opinion, the problem is getting a daily train to Mumbai. One way to fix this is by combining the Balaji and NCJ CSMT into one train via TPJ ALU VM TNM. This would make the train run six times a week or daily. This way, folks from the south of Tamil Nadu, like Trichy, Ariyalur, Villupuram, Thiruvannamalai, and Vellore, can have a daily connection to Mumbai via Madanapalle. Check out the plan here: [link]. For the return journey, check it out here: [link]. Cool, right?
