General Questions:

1. Why are certain table numbers missing? (question by Chechu and few others)

It is intended. As I am printing a looonnnnggg excel table as such as a PDF, it becomes extremely difficult to track if new tables are inserted in between existing ones. This set up maintains the trunk routes as multiples of 10 and their associated chains as subsequent table numbers.

2. Can you publish a map with table numbers? (request by Chechu)

Yes, thanks for the suggestion. Will prepare one and share the link here. Watch out this space.

3. Can we have table numbers repeated in all pages if the table spans more than one page? (question by Chechu)

I wish I could. However, with the format alignment, it is impossible.

4. Isn't Melpakkam station closed? (question from Gowrisankar)

Yes, it is closed for commercial purposes. However, it is a technical block. Such stations are retained as proper stations in the book (other similar ones are the trio of Caranzol, Dudhsagar and Sonaulim).

5. Can you publish station index? (request by Raghu)

Yes, will do. I will try to do a foldable A4 size sheet that will help locate tables with station names (major ones).
