Train users urge Southern Railway to restore stoppages at Singanallur
Coimbatore: The Singanallur Train Passengers Welfare Association has urged the Southern Railway to reinstate stoppages at Singanallur for key passenger trains that served hundreds of daily commuters prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. The association pointed out that the Salem-bound MEMU service, along with the Coimbatore–Nagercoil–Coimbatore Express train (numbers 16322/16321) and the Palakkad Town–Tiruchirappalli train (no. 16844), previously had scheduled halts at Singanallur station. These stoppages were crucial for daily passengers, season ticket holders, students, and devotees travelling from the Singanallur region to other destinations. "Since the withdrawal of these halts after the pandemic, commuters face significant inconvenience. Singanallur is a rapidly growing locality, and restoring these services is vital for ensuring last-mile connectivity and easing passenger load at other stations like Coimbatore Junction," said M Ganesan, joint secretary of the association. Because of the non-stoppage of trains, locals use the platform for morning and evening walks. The association has appealed to the railways to restore the MEMU service and the earlier halts at Singanallur without further delay. "We believe this move will enhance regional connectivity and offer greater convenience to the travelling public." he said.
