Southern Railway announces festival trains

Southern Railway has announced a series of special trains to manage the anticipated surge in passenger traffic during the upcoming festive season. These festival special trains aim to cater to the increased demand for travel across key routes during holidays such as Diwali and Pongal. The railway authority’s proactive step is aimed at ensuring smooth and convenient travel for passengers while avoiding overcrowding during peak holiday periods.

The festival special trains will operate on high-demand routes connecting major cities and towns in Southern India, including Chennai, Madurai, Trichy, and Coimbatore.

These trains will operate for a limited period during the holiday season, offering increased frequency and connectivity to help meet the extraordinary travel demands that accompany the festivals.

The introduction of these special trains is part of Southern Railway’s efforts to provide a seamless travel experience and reduce congestion at major railway stations. Passengers can expect more comfortable and reliable travel options, with these special services designed to ease the load on regular train operations and ensure timely arrivals and departures.

This initiative underscores Indian Railways’ commitment to adapting its services to seasonal needs, ensuring that passengers can travel with ease during the festive season.
