I would wished this train to be at Tambaram permanently as well instead of Central. I had wondered that for the first time a train dedicated to Delhi was given to Tambaram, also known as Gateway of Chennai. Yes I agree with the legacy of this train, However after extension It had benefited passengers coming from Southern parts of Tamilnadu, they can easily change train at Tambaram instead coming to Central. Also SR is highly reluctant to start an new Daily train to Delhi from Madurai/Trichy side as even in Delhi there are many families belonging from that areas as well too...

Tambaram is beneficial than Chennai Central, as it will benefit South based passengers, now being forced to come to MAS.

if left in TBM that will go deep down south in coming years, let the prestigious trains start and originate from main central stations itself and train is slowed when the train is TBM letting it MAS is the best thing

In my opinion this may be the most forgotten train of IR which though was good until the 1960s started to lose its sheen to later new arrivals of Southern India. Dear railway fans don't hate a train just because of speed, speed is not everything.
