Bottleneck to go once works at PTJ Jn are over.
The yard re-modelling works at the cost of Rs 15 crore would help increasing the speed of trains on Irugur-Coinbatore- Podanur section. This will save 20 min. and help few more trains via CBE. More over one more platform would come up at PTJ Jn.

Land Acquisition of PTJ-POY GC stretch had been over come and now the wait was for funds. The GM itself personally appealed to RB to sanction funds to complete the PTJ-POY GC at the earliest in order to restore the rail connectivity of Western TN with Southern districts of TN.
Palani-Pollachi GC was in its final stage and likely to be opened by 2014 after CRS inspection and POY-PGT GC by March 2014.
