Bringing relief to the passengers from Kollam, Railways will launch four new services shortly, says N.K. Premachandran, MP.
The long-standing demand to convert Velankanni special train service into a regular service has been given the nod by Railway Board and a new Kollam-Tirupati service will also be started.
“Passengers can now book tickets in advance and travel at a lower cost in the Velankanni train. This service will be very convenient for pilgrims travelling to Velankanni via Kollam-Shengottai route. The new train operating between Kollam and Tirupati is also advantageous to the commuters from Kollam,” said the MP at a press meet here on Saturday.
