The train shows lots of seats available. It is quite surprising considering that Calcutta-Chennai route is always crowded. Here it shows so many seats as available and when you look at the same class for Chennai mail and coromandel exp both the trains are waitlisted.Not to sure whether passengers are aware. Railways need to increase awareness of this train it seems.
