Grand Trunk Express is truly the lifeline of Many Small towns lying on GT Route.
It provides a fast connection to the national capital Delhi and Chennai to many small stations lying on that route
No doubt it is somewhat slower than Prestigious Tamil Nadu Express but GT Is no less than TN Despite having more halts It is just 2hrs slower than TN Express betwee Chennai and New Delhi with 24 more halts.

Grand trunk is literally like the grandpa of the MAS NDLS route, it likes to figure out and take it's time to serve all states. Tamilnadu is young adult around the block which just moves at a faster pace.

Great Disagree:Not feasible
This train should be made to run with LHB rake with RSA to Narayanadri SF express.

Train should leave TVC at 06:30 AM to arrive Lingampalli at 10:00 AM -- can leave as Narayanadri at evening at 17:00 PM to arrive at Tirupati around 05:00 AM and PM the whole day and the return train will leave TPTY around 18:00 PM to arrive Lingampalli at 06:00 AM to leave Lingampalli as Sabari express around 13:00 PM to arrive TVC at 16:30 PM with SC at TVC

Train and rake should be handled by SCR TPTY div.

Re# 6078223-30              
TVC departure at 0630 means conflict with Venad, Parasuram, Raptisagar, that whole slot is just jam packed with fast passenger like trains. Instead of aiming for SF, SC should just extend it to NED via MUE - NZB or BIDAR via VKB. Basically, a station with PM facilities or just continue RSA arrangements with 4 dedicated rakes for this train. At this point, I don't see SR budging even a bit. If only trains ran faster in Kerala without being fast passengers, we wouldn't have had this issue. Best bet would be an evening departure from TVC for faster schedule in Kerala or departing behind Kerala SF. Even then, there is a risk of getting caught up in the huge line up of Night time SF that will simply overtake Sabari, and PM at SC will become an issue, rescheduling, many know how that is going to work out.

I think they will attach Narayanadri with some or the other train. Never expected COA/CCT to agree with this arrangement for Gowthami. Akada Seshadri tho pedte Inka bagundedi.

They should utilize the speed of GNT TPTY line and give it a faster schedule in that section. Even from SC GNT they can try for a 15 min removal. SR schedule is very tight, giving competition to MAS TVC SF Mail. This is even possible in 27h 45min.
