Passengers urge railways to operate Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi and Mayiladuthurai-Salem Express with conventional coaches

The Hindu  

Commuters, especially those in the delta region, have urged the railways to continue operating the Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi-Mayiladuthurai Express with conventional ICF coaches instead of MEMU rake. Following the extension of the Mysuru-Mayiladuthurai Express to Cuddalore a few days ago, the Mayiladuthurai-Tiruchi Express is being operated with 10 conventional ICF coaches. “The eight-car MEMU train will be insufficient to accommodate the crowd in this train as many passengers boarding en-route will be deprived of getting a seat and will be forced to stand and travel which would cause inconvenience to them, said A. Giri, secretary, Thanjavur District Railway Users Association. The passengers have demanded that the daily Mayiladuthurai-Salem-Mayiladuthurai MEMU trains being operated via Thanjavur, Tiruchi, Karur, Namakkal and Rasipuram should be operated with conventional ICF coaches or should be attached with four more MEMU coaches.
