12/06/2020
Southern Railway has made changes in timings of Madurai-Villupuram-Madurai special trains with effect from Saturday.
Following feedback from passengers on the timing of the trains on both directions, the departure in Madurai has been delayed by an hour. But the departure from Villupuram has been advanced by 90 minutes.
The changes have been effected so that passengers can reach the railway station in Madurai with ease and go home earlier in the night when public transport is available.
With limited TNSTC bus services in the early morning, passengers found it difficult to reach Madurai station on time and catch the train at 7 a.m. Now, the train will depart at 8 a.m. Similarly, under the new timings, the train will arrive Madurai at 7.30 p.m. instead of 9.20 p.m. The passengers can use the TNSTC buses that are otherwise taken to depots at 9.30 p.m. under the relaxed lockdown conditions.
New timings
The train will leave Madurai at 8 a.m., Dindigul at 9 a.m., Tiruchi at 10.15 a.m., Ariyalur at 11.10 a.m. to reach Villupuram at 1.05 p.m. In the return direction, the train will depart Villupuram at 2.30 p.m., leave Ariyalur at 3.55 p.m., Tiruchi at 5.10 p.m., Dindigul at 6.17 p.m. and reach Madurai at 7.30 p.m.
