Train Services Diverted and Short-Terminated for Maintenance in Erode Region in October
Engineering and maintenance works on railway tracks and bridges in the Erode-Karur and Erode-Tiruppur sections will cause partial cancellations, short-terminations, and diversions of several trains in late October. The Tiruchi Junction-Palakkad Town Express will be diverted and short-terminated on October 23 and 25, while the Sengottai-Erode Express and Palakkad Town-Tiruchi Express will face short-terminations on multiple dates between October 22 and 31.
