SCR ,SECANDRABAD and SWR ,HUBLI operates several long distances Daily passenger trains with in Andhra,Karnataka ,Maharastra and Orissa etc for the benefit of the poor people to travel with in their states , Inter - state cities and to the state headquarters.
I mention some important long distance ( greater than 400 km ) passenger trains successfully operated by the SWR and SCR under the INDIAN RAILWAY from Hyderabad,Vijayawada,Visakapatnam,.Tirupathi etc in Andhra and Bangalore City,Bangalore Yesvatpur ,Mysore and Hubli.
From HYDERABAD and HYDERABAD KACHEQUDA.

3)Hyderabad-Bijapur* 445 km,4) Hyderabad Kachequda - Manmad* 624 km,5) Hyderabad Kachequda - Gundur* 623 km ( 2 pairs of passenger trains )
From VIJAYAWADA

But SR under the same INDIAN RAILWAY operate short distance passengers from the Tamilnadu State HQs Chennai,Kerala State HQs Thiruvananthapuram and Puducherry UT as mentioned below.
From Chennai Central the longest passenger is the only one Chennai Central-Gudur*137km and only one the longest passenger operated from Chennai Eggmore to Puducherry *196 km.
From THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
The longest passenger operated within their state is to Kottayam*161 km.
And also only one the longest inter- state passenger operated to Madurai-Punalur via Thiruvananthapuram*410 km.
So for the Tamilnadu and Kerala common people we made the following genuine demands as operated by the adjacent SWR and SCR .SCR and SWR operate so many long distance (.>400 km ) and so many medium distance passenger services( 200 km to 400 km) for the Andhra and Karnataka common people.I am astonished on collecting some of the passenger trains operated more than 400 km in SWR and SCR especially from the state HQs and Tirupathi spiritual city.
So SR also should be operated at-least one long distance passengers from Chennai and Tiruvananthapuram in all the major routes.
From CHENNAI( TN state capital.)
1) Chennai Eggmore -Kanniyakumari *742 km via chord line 2)Chennai to Shenkottai via Tiruchi ,Manamadurai and Virudhunagar.*667 km.3)Chennai Eggmore - Thanjavur*351 km/Velankanni*353km.4)Chennai Central-Coimbatore*497km.
From THIRUVANANTHAPURAM ( KL state capital )
1) Thiruvananthapuram-Mangalore via Kottayam* 634km 2)Thiruvananthapuram-Mangalore via Alapula*620km. 3)Thiruvananthapuram-Palakkad*372km.
All the 60 MPs from Tamilnadu ,Kerala and Puducherry UT should be pressed the new Railway Ministers to operate more long distance passenger trains from State HQs to the various cities .
