MysoreâMayiladuthurai Express is a overnight regional rail service connecting Mayiladuthurai Junction in Tamil Nadu with Mysore Junction in Karnataka via Bangalore City, Erode Junction, Tiruchchirappalli Junction and Thanjavur Junction.
Initially, numbered as 31 / 32, this service had 4 slip coaches linked with Island Express at Erode. [1] Later, C. K. Jaffer Sharief, the then Minister of Railways, introduced an exclusive full service between Bengaluru and Trichy as Train No.6531 / 6532 operated by Bengaluru railway division of Southern Railway zone, (before the formation of South Western Railway zone). [2]
Few coaches of the train were amalgamated and bifurcated at Karur for Madurai, numbered as 6531A / 6532A. After changing the train number from 6531 / 6532 to 6231 / 6232, it was first extended to Mysore, then to Thanjavur and to Nagore. [3] On 29 June 2002, the train number was changed from 6231 / 6232 to 6831 / 6832 as the service was transferred from Mysore railway division to Tiruchirappalli Railway Division with stoppage at Maddur was cancelled. [4] The TiruchiâNagore service was trimmed for the execution of gauge conversion in the TiruchiâNagore section, sanctioned in 1995â1996 Railway Budget. [5] As the TiruchiâThanjavur part was completed in 1998, the service again extended back to Thanjavur. [3] After the completion of gauge conversion Thanjavurâ Kumbakonam section in Chennai EgmoreâThanjavur line, Lalu Prasad Yadav, the then Railway Minister extended the service up to Kumbakonam, [6] [7] which was effected since 9 January 2006 along with change in train number from 6831 / 6832 to 6231 / 6232. [8] [9] Further, the service was extended up to Mayiladuthurai Junction, [10] [11] [12] [13] and was effected since 17 June 2006. [14] [15] The train number was changed from 6231 / 6232 to 16231 / 16232 since December 2010 onwards as a part of train management system over the entire Indian Railways network. [16] [17] There is a constant demand from delta people to divert this train through Salem - Namakkal -Karur line for reduce the travel time and also the fare.
The train runs consists of 21 carriages:
Loco | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 |
