One of the best trains of SR to challenge the likes of WAP-7. Absolute ripper with grandpa AJJ WAP-1. The coaches are better maintained than TNSK. Known for its uncomfortable timing specially for interior TN both up & down. Has technical stoppage at Warangal for a minute. Some sleeper coaches have charging points. Brings with it 1/2 milk tankers (Code: VVN, 110 Kmph mps, 40,000L capacity) and are detached at BZA. Also 2 HCPVs are attached (preferably at front) which are unloaded at MS. Fewer halts than TN Express but lacks its aggression. Plenty of passengers for Chennai Egmore who may be downright scared of CBC couplings.
please wait...Translate to EnglishOne of the best trains of Southern Railways to compete with the powerful WAP-7. It's a beast with the old school AJJ WAP-1. The coaches are in better condition compared to TNSK. It's known for its inconvenient timings, especially for people traveling within Tamil Nadu, both in the upward and downward directions. It has a brief stoppage at Warangal for a minute. Some sleeper coaches have charging points. It also carries 1/2 milk tankers (Code: VVN, maximum speed of 110 km/h, with a capacity of 40,000 liters) which are detached at BZA. Additionally, 2 HCPVs are attached, preferably at the front, and unloaded at MS. It has fewer stops compared to TN Express but lacks its intensity. There are plenty of passengers traveling to Chennai Egmore who might be really scared of the CBC couplings.
