Case made for Vande Bharat services from Coimbatore to Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram

Rail users in Coimbatore are requesting a Vande Bharat Express service to Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram to cater to the high passenger traffic between the Kongu region and these cities. This service would benefit students, professionals, and pilgrims. Currently, only two trains offer convenient timings between Coimbatore and Mangaluru: the Coimbatore-Mangaluru Intercity...

Superfast Express (6 a.m. to 1.15 p.m.) and the West Coast Super Fast Express (9.30 p.m. to 5.50 a.m.). The Vande Bharat train to Mangaluru would provide a faster option, taking less than six hours. A similar demand exists for a Vande Bharat Express to Thiruvananthapuram, which would be popular among tourists. Additionally, the Welfare Association of Rail Passengers in Coimbatore-Pollachi-Palani-Dindigul (WARP-CPPD) has requested a daily express train between Dindigul and Erode via Pollachi and Coimbatore, starting at 5 a.m., to benefit passengers from several towns along the route.

Coimbatore ke rail users Mangaluru aur Thiruvananthapuram ke liye Vande Bharat Express service chalane ka request kar rahe hain, Kongu region aur in dono cities ke beech kaafi passenger traffic hai. Ye service students, professionals aur pilgrims ko bahut fayda dega. Abhi, Coimbatore aur Mangaluru ke beech sirf do trains convenient...

timings pe chalti hain: Coimbatore-Mangaluru Intercity Superfast Express (6 a.m. to 1.15 p.m.) aur West Coast Super Fast Express (9.30 p.m. to 5.50 a.m.). Mangaluru ke liye Vande Bharat train ek faster option hoga, jisme 6 hours se kam time lagega. Thiruvananthapuram ke liye bhi aisi hi demand hai, aur yeh tourist ke liye popular hoga. Iske alawa, Welfare Association of Rail Passengers in Coimbatore-Pollachi-Palani-Dindigul (WARP-CPPD) ne Dindigul aur Erode ke beech daily express train chalane ka request kiya hai, jo Pollachi aur Coimbatore se ho kar chalega, aur subah 5 baje chalu hoga, isse Dindigul, Oddanchatram, Palani aur Udumalpet ke passengers ko fayda hoga.
