Train Reaches VM by 6.30pm . Departure from VM is 07.05pm . also loco change from Electric to Diesel happens . either way there will be a halting time of 25-30 min in VM . its good enough for u to get out of the station and buy food in pony road and back . for those who travel in SL / AC , come to S9 coach before reaching villupuram as it will be easy for u to come near the loco and cross the railtracks for reaching pondy road .
