This is a premium train which lacked patronage from MDU itself when it was running as a bi-weekly Duronto.
Later, upon getting converted into a SF and addition of a weekend slot, the train began to attract repeat travelers.
Definitely...
more... not the ideal option for Theni district passengers but not too bad if they make this a daily and add a sizable number of SL class coaches in the long run.
MDU will still constitute the bulk of the bookings through General quota.
