Good to see first train connectivity from Kollam, punalur to chennai egmore via sengottai after a long time. Erstwhile Trivandrum-Chennai express train during meter gauge era should be restored either by a new service or extension of 16101/16102 Chennai Egmore - Kollam express to Trivandrum central or Kochuveli.
