Chennai Egmore in all it's glory.
Chennai's second most famous station lies barely more than a kilometre away from it's more famous counterpart Chennai Central. Lying centrally on the Chennai Beach-Tambaram-Chengalpattu line, Egmore is the gateway to Southern Tamil Nadu. Though connected countrywide, Egmore is more a terminus for trains coming from Southern cities like Madurai and Trichy, and an important passing station for the MSB-TBM-CGL line.
As more and more trains are now shifted and based in Tambaram, Egmore's stock has only raised over the years.

is very easy to get multiple forms of transportation from Egmore.
The closest metro stations are Egmore Metro, Chennai Central Metro and Thousand Lights. The closest major station locally is Chennai Central, represented by Chennai Park on the MSB-CGL line.

Useful
extending KCG CGL till NCJ for 4 days/Daily will be better rather sending Charminar, as already KCG CGL/PDY is half ruined and now ruining charminar exp will be worthless. Atleast Charminar/Sambar SF will be dedicated to chennai. Anyways KCG CGL/PDY is mostly being used by Tirupathi Travelers Rather chennai pax. this will create alternative for NCJ pax for TPTY also.
17653/54- operated as a triweekly with single rake by making it operated in alternative days with 1 hr late departure from both the ends via-TPTY,KPD,TNM,VM,PDY.
17651/52- can be operated as dedicated daily

train with existing slot with existing route via-RU,AJJ,MS,VM,TPJ, MDU,TEN,NCJ.
17643/44 & 17655/56- 2 Dedicated Rakes with speedup and PM at COA will be better

Charminar extension will ruin the connectivity to chennai
as a frequent traveller to chennai from hyderabad with these trains its always a headache, booked tickets month before still tickets are In RAC.

Agree Agree
why always Only Trains to Bengaluru from TN and Chennai. Hyderabad is worst connected to Chennai, all the 3 trains departs almost at the same time from Chennai and hyderabad charminar being the last train from both the sides. The KCG-CGL/PDY is literally worthless and Majority of them travel to Tirupati by booking it till AJJ. instead of extending Charminar till NCJ its better to extend KCG CGL till NCJ.

Both the zones are least bothered about introduction of Trains
