Four years on, railway restores 140 pairs of express trains to passenger category

Southern Railway is reverting 140 pairs of trains back to ordinary second-class passenger category from July 1st. This decision, originally implemented as a temporary measure in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 lockdown, will make the reduced fare of Rs 10 permanent. Trains running over 200 km will remain express trains....

Passengers are relieved as the fare for these trains was hiked to Rs 35-45 after they were converted to express trains in 2020. This move will impact various routes including Chennai Egmore - Puducherry, Chennai Beach - Tiruvannamalai MEMU, Katpadi - Salem, Villupuram - Tiruchy, Coimbatore - Pollachi, Mannargudi-Mayiladuthurai, Tirunelveli-Tiruchendur, Nagapattinam-Velankanni. Railway officials and passengers have expressed relief and concern over the confusion caused by verbal directives regarding policy decisions in the past.

ho gaya hai. 200 km se zyada distance chalne wali trains express trains banke rahengi. Passengers khush hain kyunki 2020 mein express trains mein convert hone ke baad ticket ka fare Rs 35-45 tak badh gaya tha. Isse Chennai Egmore - Puducherry, Chennai Beach - Tiruvannamalai MEMU, Katpadi - Salem, Villupuram - Tiruchy, Coimbatore - Pollachi, Mannargudi-Mayiladuthurai, Tirunelveli-Tiruchendur, Nagapattinam-Velankanni jaise routes par asar padega. Railway officials aur passengers ne policy decisions ke baare mein verbal directives se hone wali confusion par chinta jataai hai.

These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
