The railway connectivity between the two important Metro city, Chennai & Mumbai is continuously neglected in every railway budget. Though the trains connecting Mumbai with other two southern Metros (Bangalore & Hyderabad) are also running in the same route, there is no much development in this sector. Around 50% of the railway route has ‘single’ line and < 25% is electrified.

Recently, I booked a reservation ticket (SL class) from Thanjavur to Chennai in Uzhavan exp. with boarding at Kumbakonam (next station). But I boared at Thanjavur itself and travelled in the same train in SL class. I was objected by TTE and asked to pay fine for the journey from Thanjavur to Kumbakonam.
