.. parked at the Mainline of Ashokapuram (AP) railway station, awaiting clearance for departure to Mysuru Junction.
The empty rake upon reaching Mysuru Junction, the empty coaches will be opened for travellers. Thereafter, the rake will begin it's official journey from Mysuru Junction at time 16:30 as Mayiladuturai Express till Mayiladuturai, via KSR Bengaluru, Hosur, Dharmapuri, Salem, Erode, Karur, Tiruchirapalli etc.
