KaveriMail~ 853 blog postsWith the SMVB diversion, would be a good idea to get this extended to Tiruchendur and also do away with the Maniyachi Tiruchendur passenger (a curtailed version of the former Tuticorin-Tirunelveli-Tiruchendur passenger).

This Chalukya express was meant as a dedicated train for Mumbai Bangalore passengers. Extension of 3 days to Tirunelveli and 3 days to Pondicherry itself was a foolish decision, taken to appease Karnataka private bus operators. Just see the pathetic timings and of this train in SR/ SWR Stretch.

Bangalore Mumbai had 3 dedicated trains and a passing train.
Kurla Bangalore was extended to become LTT CBE. Then Chalukya was extended. Udyan was handed over to CR and made as a fast passenger.
