Now ordinary express in the day time with less fares over OMNI BUSES passenger prefer this train since this connect Namakkal,Salem,jolarpettai ,Katpadi,Arakkonam and Perambur and goes to Central for the convenient onward journey to the North India.
Regular weekly ordinary expresses specials in this route may be...
