2013 Railway Budget

As usual this is "My wish List".

1. The current Madurai-Tenkasi passenger train need to be converted as a circular train to run between Madurai & Madurai via Madurai-Tirumangalam-Virudunagar-Srivilliputhur-Sankarankoil-Tenkasi-Kadayam- Ambasamudram-Tirunelveli-Kovilpatti-Sattur-virudunagar-Madurai.
2. A corresponding train to run in the reverse direction at appropriate time interval.
3. Day time intercity SF to run between Ambasamudram-Tirunelveli-Madurai-Dindigual-Karur-Coimbatore.
4. Speeding up of Gauge conversion work between Virudunagar and Manamadurai and introduction of over night trains from Chennai to Tirunelveli or southern destination just by passing MADURAI by allowing trains to run from Chennai to [southern destination] Tirunelveli via  Trichy-Manamandurai-Virudunagar section.
5. Manamadurai-Virudunagar connectivity will enhance /ensure more seat availability for Tirunelveli and other southern destinations passengers since Madurai is by passed.  Similarly this eastern side loop will reduce the time also.
6. An exclusive  day time SF in the above said line to run between Chennai & Tirunelveli
7. There is NO connectivity (or poor connectivity) between EAST delta districts and WEST districts.   A day time [or Over Night Train] Inter City express to run between [Vellankanni]-Nagapattinam-Tiruvarur-Thanjavur-Trichy-Karur- Coimbatore-[at selected times beyond Coimbatore up to Bengaluru /  Mumbai]
8. An express train between Chennai Egmore-Mumbai via Tambaram, Chengelpet, Kanchipuram, Arakonam, Renigunda-Gooty-Sholapur-Pune-Mumbai.
