Massive Red Flag 🟥. As good as GT Exp is, it is a part of Indian Railways and there are pretty good chances of you missing your connecting train with such a small buffer time. Catch Dakshin as others have said, lesser chances of missing VB.

Bahut log support me h tumhare . Unse matlab rakho . Acche log bhi jo hote h na unke bhi hater hote h log . Or ek baat . Agar tumse koi bahut jyada Hate kar raha h to psychology ke hisab se vo tumko bahut valuable samajhta h 😉. Vo ye chahata h ki tum uske bare me hi sochte raho ki vo itna hate kyu krta h . Utkarsh bhai kahi na kahi mujhko special samajhte honge isliye itna hate h . Kabhi bhi dukhi mat hona ki mujhko itni hate kyu milti h . Dhruv Rathee se sab itna hate isliye krte h kyunki vo akela admi Lakho par bhari h ....

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.

Is this train permanently shifted to Tambaram ? Due to its extension average speed reduced ideally this train deserves speed up and its counterpart too

And that's why people always prefers TAMIL NADU EXPRESS first and GT as a second backup, if tickets are full in TN EXP.
