The Coimbatore - Palani train was flagged off at 3pm by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal via a Video Conference.

Almost as a bonus to the region, another passenger train too was flagged off simultaneously at Pollachi. A daily passenger train will now be run between Coimbatore and Pollachi.

With road works near Ukkadam in the southern outskirts of coimbatore hampering all south bound bus services towards Dindigul(it takes at least 30-45 minutes to croas this junction), this rail service will help passengers towards Pollachi, Udumalpet and Palani in a big way.

Cbe-Pollachi-Cbe train will depart Cbe at 545am (Niligiri exp arrives at 5am) and reach Pollachi at 7am. In the return direction, the train will depart from Pollachi at 730am and reach Cbe at 840am.In the evening the train will depart from CBE at 630pm and arrive in Pollachi at 8pm. The same train will leave Pollachi at 830pm and arrive at CBE junction at 950pm to help passengers board the Cheran express at 1040pm.

In his address Piyush Goyal spoke about providing rural connectivity to long distance express trains.
The palani bound train will depart from CBE at 145pm and arrive at Palani at 445pm. The train leaves Palani at 1045am and arrives at CBE junction at 210pm.

All of these will run through a connecting train system. The coimbatore palani train will run as palani madurai passenger in one direction and as coimbatore trissur passenger in another.
