South Western Railway has decided to run special trains between Mysuru, Bengaluru, and Tuticorin to handle the extra passenger rush during the Pongal festival. This step aims to make it easier for people to reach home or visit family during the festive season.
Special Train Services from Mysuru
One of the key services announced is a special express train that will run from Mysuru to Tuticorin and back. These extra trains are planned for Pongal to ensure that there is enough capacity for travelers on busy days. The railway has made arrangements to operate these services in both directions, helping passengers from Mysuru, Bengaluru, and other stations along the route.
Major Stoppages
The special trains will stop at several important stations along the way, allowing people from different towns and cities to board or leave the train. This includes stops such as Bengaluru, Salem, Karur, Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sattur, and Kovilpatti, among others. The route covers a long distance and passes through several key points connecting Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
How Will These Trains Help Commuters?
Booking for these special trains has already opened, so travelers can reserve their seats ahead of time. Running these services helps reduce crowding on regular trains, easing travel stress during the holiday period. By offering additional options, the railways aim to ensure smoother journeys for those returning home or visiting relatives for the festival.
Moreover, the extra Pongal special trains between Mysuru and Tuticorin are being introduced to support the large number of people expected to travel for the celebrations. These services will operate for specific dates in January, helping manage the festive rush more comfortably.
