CLARIFICATION ON REPLACEMENT OF A SLEEPER COACH WITH AIRCONDITIONED COACH IN CERTAIN TRAINS

  Reports have appeared in some sections of the media that Southern Railway plans to replace all second class sleeper coaches with AC coaches in a span of five years, attributing the source of such news to a statement made by the General Manager.

  In this regard, it is clarified that only due to acute shortage of Second Sleeper coaches, Southern Railway has attached one AC Three Tier coach in the place of a Second Sleeper coach in a few trains and one Second Class Sitting coach in the place of a Second Sleeper Coach in a few other trains with effect from 27^th July, 2014. This is a purely temporary measure which will end as soon as second class sleeper coaches are received.

  It is once again reiterated that there are no plans whatsoever to replace all second sleeper coaches with AC coaches in mail and express trains.

Change in composition of certain Express trains

With effect from the dates notified hereunder, the composition of coaches in the respective trains that run through Salem Division will be changed as under:

S. No	Train No.	With effect from	Total Sleeper Coaches after change	Revised formation for Sleeper coaches	Remarks	Replaced coach in place of the removed Sleeper Coach
1.	12674 Coimbatore Chennai Central Cheran Exp.	27.07.14	11	S1,S3 to S12	No S2 Coach	3 Tier AC Sleeper as B5
2.	12673 Chennai Central-Coimbatore Cheran Exp.	31.07.14	11	S1, S3 to S12	No S2 Coach	3 Tier AC Sleeper as B5

Change in departure time of Coimbatore-Mannargudi Chemmozhi express and clarification thereof

With effect from 14/07/2014, the departure time of Train no. 16616 Chemmozhi express from Coimbatore has been changed from 11.55 PM in the night to 00.15 mid night. It has been observed that since the train is now leaving at mid night, some passengers have misunderstood the date of departure and missed the train. For example, if a passenger has booked the ticket for Train No.16616 on 25.07.2014, that means that the ticket is for journey at the odd hours of Friday (25.07.2014), in other words after mid night of Thursday (24.07.2014). So, the passengers are hereby advised to keep the above fact in mind while booking tickets as well as planning for boarding the train. For any further clarifications/assistance, the passengers are advised to contact the nearest railway reservation office.

    

Warning to public to exercise caution while approaching the level crossings near Mecheri Road Railway Station

Since the Electric Overhead Traction at all the Level Crossings near Mecheri Road Railway Station have now been energized and 25 kv ac electric current is passing through the overhead lines, public and road users are cautioned not to carry heavy loads in lorries/other carriers to the height of about 4.67 meters or above, and not to carry any electro-conduction materials nearby the electric overhead lines or the poles, which may result in risk of fire, damage to property, and loss of life. 

Partial Cancellation/Temporary Change in the Nagercoil-Coimbatore Passenger Train timings due to track maintenance works

Due to track maintenance works between Virudhunagar and Vanchi Maniyachi by Madurai Division, for 2 days viz. 20.07.2014 and 27.07.2014, T.No.56319 Nagercoil-Coimbatore Passenger will be partially cancelled between Sathur and Madurai, and will leave Madurai at 15.00 Hrs. instead of 13.30 Hrs.

Likewise Train No. 56320 Coimbatore-Nagercoil Passenger will be cancelled between Madurai and Sathur on the said two days, however, will be operated to scheduled timings between Sathur and Nagercoil Junction.
