Title - “Divert trains”

The Kanyakumari district Railway User’s Association urged the Southern Railway to divert Bangalore-Nagercoil weekly express, Chennai Central-Nagercoil weekly express and Dadar-Tirunelveli tri-weekly trains via Salem-Namakkal-Karur route.

In a memorandum to Union Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, secretary P. Edward Jeni said trains bound for Nagercoil and Tirunelveli from Salem were currently running on Salem-Erode-Karur route. Salem-Namakkal-Karur route was expected to be operational soon. Hence, diversion could benefit passengers of Namakkal district and connect southern districts to Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore.
