Kerala is gearing up for a momentous occasion as it gets ready to welcome its very first double-decker train into the state. The trial run of the Coimbatore-KSR Bengaluru Uday Express, which will later extend to Palakkad, is scheduled for Wednesday, marking a significant milestone in Kerala's railway history.
Debut of Double-Decker AC Chair Car Train
This trial run heralds the debut of the first double-decker AC chair car train in the Uday Express series by Indian Railways. The train is designed to provide passengers with enhanced comfort and modern amenities during their journey.
Addressing Shortage of Trains
The trial run will cover the Pollachi-Coimbatore stretch, aiming to address the shortage of trains on the modernized and electrified Pollachi route. This initiative aims to improve connectivity and convenience for passengers traveling along this route.
Schedule of Trial Run
The Udaya Express (No. 22665/66) is scheduled to depart from Coimbatore at 8 am on Wednesday, April 17. It is expected to arrive at Palakkad Town at 10:45 am and Palakkad Junction at 11:05 am. The return journey is set for 11:35 am, reaching Coimbatore at 2:40 pm, thus concluding the trial run.
Joint Effort by Southern Railway Divisions
The decision to conduct the trial run on Wednesday was made because the Uday Express does not operate on this day. The Salem and Palakkad divisions of the Southern Railway are jointly executing the trial run, showcasing collaborative efforts to enhance railway services in the region.
As Kerala prepares to witness the historic trial run of its first double-decker train, excitement is palpable among residents and railway enthusiasts. This milestone reflects the ongoing efforts to modernize and improve railway infrastructure in the state, ultimately benefiting passengers with enhanced travel experiences. As the trial run unfolds, all eyes are on the Coimbatore-KSR Bengaluru Uday Express, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Kerala's railway history.
