Railway budget 2013 was a treat to karaikudi people.The railway budget 2013 announced two new trains to karaikudi jn.The Happy news is that the pallavan express is extended to karaikudi which was a dream to the people of the karaikudi.The  new trains to karaikudi are as follows:
Chennai-Karaikudi(weekly)
Rameswaram-Karaikudi-coimbatore(weekly).
Pallavan express extended to karaikudi(daily)
Karaikudi-Manamadurai-virudhunagar(DEMU),after gauge conversion
There are many protests to extension of pallavan express to karaikudi.but the pudukottai people and the karaikudi people are very happy on this move.They celebrated the news by distributing sweets.The tiuruchy people are telling that the trains like rockfort express,tea garden express,jan-shatabti were extended from tiruchy to other parts like kumbakonam,karaikal.The are shocked after the extension of pallavan express to karaikudi.They demand that the railways can allocate a new day train to karaikudi instead of extending the pallavan express.They also say that the new train can be comfortable to karaikudi people as train timing can be changed easily.The demands of the manamadurai people is that the train should be extended till manamadurai or sivagangai.The new train rameswaram-coimbatore  also help the karaikudi people because the karaikudi is connected to business towns like tiruppur and Coimbatore.since the train is weekly it is expected that there will more rush when the train comes to karaikudi and also only small number of seats will be reserved for the people of karaikudi.while the extended pallavan express and the Coimbatore express are likely to be operated from the april the weekly Chennai express will come into operation after some days.If the trains are operated from april then it will be very easy for the vacation trips and also for the students community.also there is a demand that the Coimbatore express should be operated daily so that there is less rush in the weekends.manamadurai express is also extended to virudhunagar jn but it will be done after the gauge conversion.The timings of the pallavan express is not finalized. It will be better if the train starts from karaikudi jn around 6.00 am.From Chennai it will be better if it starts around 4.00 pm.

    4. Poor man ,Don't mix cauvery water issue with the pallavan express extension.Railways should not extend Pallavan express.Instead of extending railways can leave a new express from karaikudi-chennai.

    Why not we Karaikudi, Pudukkottai and SVGA people create a thread in the above forum and discuss why we need that train...But one thing I Agree with the protesters is that If not Pallavan extension a new Day train to be operated from KKDI. That will solve the problem...More comments needed...

      Hi Veera,

      your above suggested site is not an official website of Indian railway. We no need to discuss in the above forum. Particularly, in the case, Railway board already investigated and announced the extension of Pallavan express to Karaidudi. The problem is some short minded group protesting against the extension.


      Tiruchirappalli is a big junction where several trains pass through to many destination. People in Tiruchi are having much options to travel to Chennai by train. but pudukottai and sivaganga district people......????? Even if Pallavan express starts from Karaikudi, it will pass through Tiruchi only. Why are they struggling? Do they want to stop all trains upto Tiruchi? Tiuchi is situated in the middle of Tamilnadu. Most of the trains should pass through Tiruchi only.

      Indian railway introduces many new trains and extensions from Kashmir to Kanyakumari for the convenience of the public and possibilities of railway routes all over India. If everyone from everywhere protests from all station like short minded group, how will the benefits reach to all people? It is the bad beginning. The government should be aware of this group.

      Yours

    2. Dear Karaikudi people,

      Please ask for new express train instead of pallavan extension.Can you answer the below questions.


      Can you people wake up at midnite & catch the train at 3.45 am?
      Is it Ok when the train reaches reaches karaikudi at 12 nite?
      Does trichy people will get unreserved seats?very difficult
      Does the the ticket reservation will be easier for trichy people?

      Delete
    3. KKDI people never asked the extension of Pallavan and its a political move....KKDI people are very happy if a new DTSF is announced. Its understandable that Unreserved compartments may be full.So we are happy if a portion of the Pallavan Exp is sent to KKDI instead of entire train..Regarding arrivals,We can go for night arrival at 12 but morning it cant be 3.45am...Since the loco change take 25 min atleast why not run the train without loco change at TPJ...That is fully on diesel. If so The train may start at 4.45am which wont be a great difficulty. And finally we all brothers and sisters and I seek an amicable solution in this regard.

  4. Quote from the HIndu...

    http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/plea-to-railway-authorities-on-running-of-trains/article4590365.ece

    One solution proposed by Trichy people is the extension of Cholan Express which run through TPJ, TJ,KMU,VM Circuitous route...I urge all the people to protest any such move because Our demand is a Day time train with 2C and CC coaches run thru Chord Line and not main line..The Cholan Express is not having high patronage by Trichy people but useful only for delta people. So how come such train is beneficial for the people of Pudukkottai, and Karaikkudi people?

    Veera,

    1)Sivagangai & Pudukottai district people's long standing demand is the day time super fast train to Chenni. So, Why should we travel to Chennai by long distance cholan express instead of super fast train? We are also the citizen of India.
    2) Why should agitators suggest Cholan express instead of Pallavan express. Pallavan express will also pass through Trichy.
    3) Trichy people can travel by Pallavan express and will be useful continuously to the Trichy people. Then What is the problem?
    Let them allow us to get the same benefits.

    Vaalga Trichy people! Vaalga pudukkottai and Sivagangai district people!!.

    1. Hi Sir,

      Exactly...We dont want a train like Cholan Exp...We already have two MEs, One RMM-BSB, and RMM-BBS. From my experience I rarely travelled thru RMM-BBS because of its route via main line and tickets are available even 2 days before its departure. So if Cholan is extended many seats would be vacant on many days...Hope it may not happen...

    திருச்சி வழியாக தினமும் சென்னைக்கு பல ரயில்கள் கடந்து செல்கின்றன. மலைக்கோட்டை மற்றும் பல்லவன் எக்ஸ்பிரஸ் ரயில்களும் திருச்சி வழியாகதான் செல்லும். எந்த வகையில் திருச்சி மக்கள் மேற்படி ரயில் சேவையை இழக்க போகிறார்கள் ? அடுத்த ஊர்காரன் துளியும் நன்மை பெறக்கூடாது என்ற தமிழனின் நல்ல எண்ணத்தால்தான் இலங்கையில் தமிழன் உயிரை விட்டுக்கொண்டு இருக்கிறான். எந்த நாட்டிலும் எந்த மாநிலத்திலும் இது போன்ற கூட்டம் இல்லை .

    1. Will the need of the Trichy people be greater than Karaikkudi and Pudukkottai people. Around 30000 of passengers are travelling daily from Trichy to Chennai. Why dont you can demand for new train instead of asking our train. You can tell that so many trains are passing through Trichy only. But not even a single passenger can board at those trains as they will reach TPJ with full rush. Why dont you people understand that the demand is more for Trichy only than Karaikkudi people??? As our friends told let you have a new train and let it not to stop or not to pass through TPJ whatever. It is not fair for asking our Train to extend to your town. There will not be any difference between you people asking for others train and British people who took over the wealth of other country for 200 years.

    2. Its amazing that the phrase "Our train" is used....I dont understand the meaning of the phrase "Our Train"...TPJ is in India and not in other country... In fact no train is exclusive to any town or city...Ofcourse KKDI, and PDKT cant match Trichy Population in any manner...Also its surmised that the train would be empty till Trichy.. If the train is full when it reaches trichy then KKDI and PDKT deserves a train...If not then TPJ people can board the train as if it is starting from TPJ...Finally still KKDI and PDKT people are happy if a new day time train is announced rather than extending Pallavan...And thirdly extension is a norm in IR and for TPJ like JN its unavoidable...I also say that If Pallavan is extended to MNM or RMM I would rather welcome the move than criticising it...

    3. Thanks for your comment.If the response is not good there is a high probablity of restoration of pallavan express to trichy.I think extending pallavan to MNM/RMM is quite tough because there is a problem of rake sharing between vaigai and pallavan.If it is extended to MNM then it it should start at morning 2.30 am to reach chennai egmore at 12.15 pm.because the vagai express should start at 1.20 pm

  7. why don't pudukottai and karaikudi people ask new train for your region. why ur people wanted to extend the existing train. already we lost rockfort express, tea garden express, mysore express. now a days its very difficult to get seat in the above express.
    its very very sad, a fourth largest city in tamilnadu does not have a single origin express train.

    ReplyDelete
  8. everybody forgets the actual problem. the problem is getting seat in unreserved coaches. It is easy to solve.
    Run a portion of the train to karaikudi and attach the rest of the compartments in Trichy.
    Fuel also may be saved.problem also will be solved.

  9. To everyones surprise Southern Railway announced the Train service announced in the budget...There is no news regarding this on TV...

    What's Surprising

    The announced train service in the budget is between MS-KKDI but now its between MS and Manamadurai...So its surely a political move by PC to garner something as the election approaches...He certainly loose because Karaikudi the biggest Assembly constituency in the Sivaganga District wants an exclusive train from Karaikudi. Very similar to what TPJ people wants Pallavan and Rockfort. For me the only thing is the unreserved compartments which one can travel if it is an exclusive train from KKDI. Now it will be full when the train reaches KKDI.

    Obviously KKDI would be on the General Quota and there is not much Problem for SL and other coaches. This train would certainly be extended to VirudhuNagar soon(inspection on today).

    people are crying for everything
    To day Railways announces that the new Train Nagercoil to Bangalore express (17235 & 17236) will run via Dindigul and Karur and will not touch Trichirappalli. The Tiruchi people are not happy over this and begin to cry. They must realize that touching Trichy will make the train an additional of 96 kilometers. While Dindigul to Karur the distance is 78 kms but through Trichy it will be 174 kms. The people of Dindigul, Madurai, Virudhunagar,Sathur,Kovilpatti, Tirunelveli,Valliyur and finally Nagercoil people will not like to travel an extra 96 kms. See the maps:
    Similarly when the Railways announces that the Rockfort Express (16877 & 16878) will not start from Kumbakonam, the people of Kumbakonam and Thanjavur again begin to cry. To pacify them Railways announces a new Train Thanjavur to Chennai Express via Kumbakonam (16183 & 16184) but people as usual ignore it. The distance between Kumbakonam and Chennai direct is only 275 kms but through Trichy it is 429 kms. You can save 154 kms by travelling via main line. See the maps:
    On another side the people are crying that the Pallavan express must not go to Karaikudi and Manamadurai and that is another story.
