Railways have issued a clarification regarding the recent revision in timings of many trains as a temporary rearrangement of timings.

Accordingly, 92 trains have been re-timed in Thiruvananthapuram, Palakkad, Salem and Chennai Divisions with effect from 13th June 2018. Majority of the trains have been rationalized to the extent of 30 minutes only. One or two trains have been rationalized to the extent of 45 to 60 minutes.

Passengers are requested to kindly co-operate with Southern Railway as this has been done primarily to enable them to know accurately their time of arrival of trains at destinations.
