Thanjavur
From May 1, train commuters heading for destinations on the main-line section in Thanjavur district are all set to enjoy the benefit of a shorter-duration travel to their respective destinations from Chennai Egmore.
The Southern Railway has obtained consent of the Railway Board to try a proposal mooted by the Rail Users Associations in Thanjavur district, for re-scheduling the departure timing of Cholan Express after the arrival time of Tejas Express.
In its proposal, the associations had requested the Railways to delay the departure of Chennai Egmore-bound ‘Cholan Express’ (Train no: 06796) from Tiruchi by 10 minutes at Tiruchi so that the commuters arriving to Tiruchi by Tejas Express (Train no: 02613) from Chennai Egmore could use the ‘Cholan Express’ as a link service (except on Thursdays) to reach Thanjavur and other important railway stations on the main-line in Thanjavur district quickly.
