Introduce new daily Humsafar Exp. between Chennai Tambaram and Kanyakumari, passenger’s demand

There are lots of people from southern districts employed in Chennai the state capital of Tamilnadu. However, the train services between Chennai and the southern district are inappropriate.

It has recently become very difficult for the people of Chennai to obtain reserved tickets in the present trains. Also railway may be aware that the Chennai, Madurai, Nagercoil route is highly patronised sector.

It is very much required to raise a flag, that on every night more than 40-70 daily overnight Omni buses are starting from Nagercoil to Chennai, which indicates from Nagercoil more than 2000 passengers are taking a 740 KM bus journey towards Chennai to reach the state capital.

People of Chennai request to railway administration instead of cancelling the present AC train extension of 20601/20602 Chennai Central-Madurai Tri-weekly express to Kanyakumari convert to daily Humsafar Express by duly diverting it via Madurai, Didigual, Tiruchirapalli and Villupuram route.

This daily Humsafar special train start from Kanyakumari after 20:00 and reach Chennai early morning around 6:00. In return direction it starts from Chennai at 21:00 & reach Kanniyakumari at 7:00 hrs.

Passengers also requested to railway administration to operate the Humsafar train as a special train on trial basis for a six-month period. After that based on the revenue, occupancy, passenger benefit they can consider regularising the special Humsafar train to permanent service.
