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.

Railway should remove some halts of GT Express I Think these halts are unnecessary which in turn lead to reduce in priority
Given halts should be removed :
1.Ganj Basoda
2.Morena
3.Dhaulpur
4.Raja
...
