The stoppage for Amritha Express (16343/16344) plying between Thiruvananthapuram Central – Madurai at Udumalpet railway station was commissioned on Saturday by C. Mahendran, MP.
Mr. Mahendran, said the stoppage for the train at Udumalpet was a long-pending demand of rail-users from the region and the Ministry of Railways accorded approval for it on an experimental basis.
According to him, the public have been raising a demand for an additional train in the sector over the past few years. Representations were made to the Ministry of Railways for introduction of more trains, duly providing stoppage at Udumalpet railway station. He requested the railway authorities to complete the electrification work on the route.
Divisional Railway Manager Neenu Ittyerah said that the experimental stoppage provided at the station will be very useful for the public and temporary stoppage will be extended based on passenger response. Already two passenger trains and two express trains have halts at the station. “The Udumalapet railway station has a patronage of 663 passengers on an average per day and fetches earnings of Rs. 64, 000 per day, an increase of over 87% than last year. The station will soon get an ATM and parking facility,” she said. Lalit Kumar Mansukhani, Additional Divisional Railway Manager, Southern Railway,
