Are there sufficient passengers in and around bodinyakkanur area which opt for ac class in this short distance? Although a normal M/E train is more preference here by passengers.

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.

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.

Though it may not fill the entire AC coaches, atleast it should be able to fill the GS and SL. Guess, Theni will be able to fill as they have got the premium connectivity to the capital.
