SR mindset has to be changed and should be operate so many Long Distance Passenger trains for the benefit of Tamilnadu,Kerala ND Pondy people as done by SWR and SCR for the other SOUTHERN STATES of KARNATAKA and ANDHRA( SEEMANDHRA and TELENGANA ).
Go through the present SOUTHERN ZONE TIME TABLE EFFECTIVE FROM 1.07.2013.All the routes except some short branches have many Long Distance Passenger Daily Trains in SWR and SCR for the poor people of ANDHRA and KARNATAKA from the state headquarters to various cities ,with in Divisional HQs and the important pilgrimage city TIRUPATHI.
But...
more... SR under the same INDIAN RAILWAY SYSTEM does not operate Long Distance Passenger from the state HQs CHENNAI and THIRUVANANTHAPURAM.
SR COACHING and OPERATING OFFICIALS have to be deputed to the nearest SWR and SCR to acquire the knowledge in operating the Very Long Distance Passenger ( more than 600 km ) and the Long Distance Passenger ( more than 400 km and with in 599 km )
Hope the present New MODI JI REGIME SR management may be changed their attitude towards the poor and common people of Tamilnadu and Kerala.
