Sivakasi, Sept. 24:
A special weekly train operating between Hyderabad and Sengottai via Sivakasi has been welcomed by passengers from the southern districts of Tamil Nadu.
Route
The train will operate through Nalgonda, Miryalaguda, Guntur, Tenali, Bapatla, Chirala, Ongole, Nellore, Renigunta, Katpadi, Jolarpettai, Salem, Erode, Tiruppur, Coimbatore (Podanur), Pollachi, Udumalpet, Palani, Oddanchatram, Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar, Sivakasi, Srivilliputhur, Rajapalayam, Sankarankovil, Kadayanallur and Tenkasi, before reaching Sengottai.
Schedule
The special weekly service operates from September 2 to November 27.
Hyderabad departure: 7:15 AM
Sengottai arrival: 2:00 PM the next day
Sengottai departure: 5:30 PM
Hyderabad arrival: 2:00 PM the next day
Useful for Southern Districts
The new service is expected to be particularly useful for passengers travelling from Tenkasi, Virudhunagar, Sivakasi and neighbouring southern districts.
It provides connectivity to important destinations including Tirupathi, Palani and Madurai, as well as major cities such as Coimbatore, Salem, Erode and Tiruppur.
Passengers have welcomed the service, particularly because direct rail connectivity to several of these destinations has been limited. There is also hope among passengers that the special service could continue as a regular weekly train after its initial operating period
