Diwali booking to Pongal booking

Hello all,
Still one more week to go for Diwali function. If you notice the traffic in these 3 days, you will better understand that Chennai doent have any origin or most of them are migrants from different places from Tamilnadu,Andhra and Kerala. But the total rush will be in egmore or central station to reach their respective native places. For that you need to book the train ticket 3 months back...In ur life if you want a challenge for 5 minutes come to me...Simple...I will ask you to book a ticket for pandian express to Madurai in 16th morning for Pongal....If you get a confirm ticket you are lucky and please go and check your astrology and you can proudly express your happiness to the society....Thanks to ananthapuri and Kanyakumari express trains,I booked myself for Diwali...But for now I have the challenge to book for Pongal....People should understand that 95% of the bookings were made through online and not by brokers......The traveling people are techies IT person and family(including me here) and Engineers in different industries......But how to clear the extra rush???......The answer you can get easily is increase more trains and increase more coaches.....If you take the chennai- Kanyakumari route alone some 15 (roughly) trains are moving on a daily basis and if you add 3 special trains then it will be like nearing 20....How much u can increase more.....you will end up in trains running one by one...so adding coaches.....20 coaches on a normal train..increase it by 30???? then we should have one more engine....So only feasible solution is to make it as a double track for to and fro and adding special trains .....But it is a vision and will take long long time......so lesson here is "please wake up early and book ur ticket"
