The coach order seems to have been reversed in this train recently. The AC coaches are now just behind the engine i.e. at the far end when boarding at Chennai Central. Passengers travelling by AC coaches need to walk a long distance at Chennai Central and all stations beyond Dindigul Jn (as the rake is reversed there).

It is not clear if this is a temporary or permanent change.

I already mentioned it in my trip but it was in bits and pieces and also very brief. Thought it would be useful if I compiled it in a single post.
