Mysuru–Thoothukudi Express is a daily train service between the cities of Mysore and Thoothukudi operated by the South Western Railway.[1]

Introduction

[edit]

This train connects the Palace City Mysuru in Karnataka with the Pearl City, Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu. The train initially operated from Madurai to Bengaluru before being extended to Tuticorin, after that it extended from Bengaluru to Mysuru. Then the train belonged to the Southern Railway and hence is numbered as 16731/16732. Now it's renumbered to 16235/16236 so now it's operated by South Western Railway. It's one of the highly patronized trains of Mysuru division in South Western Railway.There is a constant demand from south tamilnadu people to divert this train through Salem - Namakkal - Karur line for reduce the travel time and also the fare.
