The Brindavan SF MAS>SBC>MAS for last few months is not much crowded than any other regular Trains in this corridor excluding Shatabdi &DD. Yet the Brindavan arrive at KJM towards Chennai after departed DD and Bangarpet- Passenger EMU, yet KJM Station looks bit crowded Passengers to catch Brindavan but within few minutes most of the pax get seats and some are standing but Not in the past. But now over-flowing passengers Hanging-on the-Doors SBC-Mas like Intercity Exp, Lalbagh, Sangamitra Exp.
Cause Brindavan the SR added 15 general Second-class coaches so passengers easily adjust before reaching Bangarpet-Station one way its good.

is not Brindavan Passengers get inside Reserved-coaches but all Intermediate-stations issue Un-reserved tickets in hundred/s. So once train stop for 2 mins. by the time passengers could not enter already full Un-reserved coaches so they in hurry to get in other reserved-coaches. So Reserved-passengers to adjust with standing-passengers without any quarrel to a fellow-citizens He/She travel in hurry.
-Hope SR & SWR kindly if arrange Un-reserved II Chair-car coaches to get more air & spacious. Even SBC-Arokonam Passenger train got chair-car.
-Hope our new Railway Minister Shri. Sadananda Gowda of Karnataka will arrange atleast a new Rake and Speed-up Brindavan Express like former Lalu Ji, Jaffar Sheriff.
-Former State Railway Minister Shri. Velu said factors such as the time taken for the slow down and Acceleration of the Brindavan train during the Arrival & Departure at a station, and the Grievances of Long-Distance Passengers about the increased running time taken by the Superfast trains owing to the increase in the number of halts have to be taken into consideration Before introducing more halts for such trains. Brindavan from JTJ to VN & Ambur made stoppage in very short distance aprox 15 km each stops for not a Superfast train.
-HOPE SR & SWR will do something to increase Brindavan Speed to adjust this short-distance- stops-Passengers can travel. And also Early Departure & Early Arrival before DD train so that middle-class, aged people and aam aadmi reach their homes to save lot of additional local transport expenses after reaching Chennai-Central at 9.15 pm and also when further late.
-Finally, when Brindavan constant speeding & crossing Pattabiram Station a Passenger during his serious talks with family members saying Brindavan Express is also called as "Jayalalithaa Express" which made us surprise and immense joy for some time !
Hope be optimistic one day in reality our CM Amma may name this Brindavan so that it will help middle-class and poor will travel on-time and much earlier timings than late and enjoy a clean-rake if IR Officials great help. thnx.
