56370/56375 will be cancelled from April 27 to May12.
Already these trains had been cancelled for over a month till April 25. Seeing the pace at which work is being done, hopes of timely resumption of services will remain a distant dream.

Stops at Kollengode and Udumalpettai is inevitable. Only then can the train run profitably on the extended section. Today the train was almost empty from pollachi till palakkad. If it can halt at POY for one hour cos it reached early, why is it not increasing stoppages?
Also it must run faster than buses which ply on the stretch. The train took only 50 minutes for POY to PGTN while bus takes 75-90 minutes but the advantage was lost when it halted at POY for 60 minutes. The track is new and railway must do a feasibility study to run faster, prevent unwanted halts and increase stops aiming at better passenger participation instead of running it just for namesake and grounding it
...

terming as unprofitable.
I hope all these would be considered in the upcoming weeks by the railways.

16344 MDU to TVC reaches palani at 5.55pm and Pollachi at 7.55pm. The train is being alloted a full two hours for a mere 62km that too at a stretch without trains at all. I booked the train from pollachi and found it waiting at POY station at 7pm. Can anyone help me with why so much time is given instead of starting late from MDU? Or is it PGT division's yet another hideous attempt to cancel the extension on grounds of poor patronage?

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
