STILL UNDERDEVELOPED!!!!

Tirunelveli (TEN) - Ambasamudram (ASD) - Tenkasi (TSI)
Virudhunagar (VPT) - Tenkasi (TSI) - Sengottai (SCT) - Punalur (PUU) routes are still underutilized.

If
...

appropriate train services are introduced, It will be both helpfu lto the public as well as a commercial success to SR.

1. The approved Extension of Guruvayur Punalur Express to Madurai has not been implemented yet!

2. Instead of Operating Sengottai - Kollam Express using TEN/MDU rake in unfavourable timings...
Set of dedicated passenger rake can be alloted to this and it can be operated as Kollam-Tenkasi - Kollam Passenger in the morning and evening Hours.
(* 5.30 AM Departure from Tenkasi and reaching Kollam around 09.30 AM in the morning, 03.30 PM Departure from Tenkasi and reaching Kollam around 7.30PM) (*7.15 AM Departure from Kollam and reaching Tenkasi around 11.15 AM in the morning, 05.30 PM Departure from Kollam and reaching tenkasi around 09.30 PM)

3. Reintroduction of Ernakulam (ERS) - Velankanni (VLNK) Express via PUU,SCT with increase in the frequency.

4. Introduction of Tirunelveli (TEN) - Bangalore (SBC) express may be a biweekly via TEN-ASD-TSI-VPT-MDU

5. Introduction of Tirunelveli (TEN) - Mumbai (LTT) may be a Biweekly via Tenkasi TSI- Kollam QLN- Mangalore MAJN route. (Western Ghat Express)

6. Increasing the frequency and regularization of Tirunelveli (TEN) - Tambaram (TBM) Express via Tenkasi, Ambasamudram. (Thamirabharani Express).

7. Apart from this, One pair out of the Four, Tirunelveli -Sengottai- Tirunelveli Passenger can be extended to Tiruchendur. (Can Attract the Interst of Tourists and Pilgrims)

HOPE THIS ROUTE WILL BE UTILIZED PROPERLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE.....

Now the Kollam - Punalur - Kollam Passenger trains are the only ones not yet reintroduced in this section........When will they be back.......I think the early morning passenger starting from QLN @ 6:15AM to Punalur and the one in the evening which starts QLN @ 5:40PM are the much needed ones
