Indian Railway — Train Number 16236/16235 Stop in Carmelaram Station

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka

Hi, I use to travel frequently from Karmelaram (CRLM) Railway station - Bangalore to Virudhnagar (VPT) in 16236 (Tuticorin Exp), similarly while coming from Virudhunagar in 16235 (Mysore Exp), I use to get down in Karmelaram. Now as per Railway department's new update these trains are not having a stop in Karmelaram railway station. Because of this passengers around Marathahalli, HSR Layout, Sarjapura Road, Whitefiled, BTM Layout, Madivala and etc are forced to travel 20+ KM inside the Bangalore city. As per this Railway department's new update all other Express trains are having a stop as usual except this Tuticorin and Mysore Express. List of expresses having stop in CRLM are following 12677 ERNAKULAM EXP 12678 BANGALORE EXP 16232 MAILADUTURAI EX 16231 MYSORE EXPRESS 16527 YPR CANNANORE E 16528 YESVANTPUR EXP. But I wonder why they removed only Tuticorin / Mysore Express. Tuticorin train usually crosses CRLM station by 10PM-10:30 PM. In this station it stops for only one minute, that will not make any delay in travel. This train can be delayed only because of following two reasons, 1) This train considered as a Passenger train between Bangalore<->Mysore. 2) This train requires engine direction change in ERODE Junction which will take around 1 hour time. Currently in this station boarding passengers may be less because of infrasture of this station, like platforms are under construction, not much light in night time, no toilet, each platform having only four sit-out places. Actually passengers were expected 17235 (Nagercoil exp) / 17236 (Bangalore Exp) also will stop in CRLM. But now no connectivity from CRLM to Madurai/Virudhunagar/Tuticorin/Tirunelveli/Nagarcovil junctions. Please enable the service as usual from CRLM and support passengers. Thanks, Nagarajan. K

Hi,

Good NEWS.

I spoke to the Cramelaram Station master, as per his communication the tuticorin train will be stopped as usual. But during ticket booking, CRLM wont reflect for some days in IRCTC for this particular train.

Thanks to Indian Railway department and please complete the remaining station works ASAP.

Thanks,
Nagarajan. K
Hi, Agree with your comments. This karmelaram station was very useful for people around HSR Layout, Sarjapura Road, Whitefiled, BTM Layout, Madivala, Bommanahalli, Jayanagar. As train timing is 10pm we can easily reach after coming back from the work.
Now getting into Majestic station by 9pm train, from BTM it would take 1-2 hours in peak hours after 6pm. One need to take half day leave for catching the train at 9pm. Really very very disappoined.


We request Railway Officials to review the decision and please open this again for public benefit. Thanks.
I also agree with the comments above. It is very useful for the people who stays around SilkBoard, Marathahalli, Sarajapur Road, WhiteField, ITPL. I request the officials to review and make arrangement for stopping this trains in Carmelaram station.
Thanks for your information. But whether it will not be a problem to board at CRLM when the boarding point is SBC.
Same thing happened for my Mayiladuthurai and Mysore Express (16231 and 16232).
They removed the stops CRLM and Kengeri (KGI).These are useful stations for the passengers to skip Bangalore traffic to go SBC.Pls make the stops as usual and update the same in IRCTC for ticket booking.
Hi Nagarajan,

I also agree with ur point. same like you i also used to travel Virudhunagar often by tuticorin express or Nagercoil express.but i find some times Banglore - tuticorin 16236 does not halt in Carmelaram station. so i travel from munnekolala to majestic . and boarding from majestic only.is it sure that train heading towards tuticorin and nagercoil will halt at Carmelaram atleast for a minute? if you have any recent update please let me know.

Regards,
SAN
I am frequently using Bangalore - Nagercoil express. While going to nagercoil we have to go to hosur or majestic to catch this train which is very difficult. Passengers are eagerly expecting the stoppage of this train at Carmelarm at both the directions. Sending so many mails and complaints to the railways are in vain.

Hi,
Can we travel in Passenger train with Reservation ticket ? As am coming from Tirunelveli to Bangalore I want to get down in karmelaram station, (17236)
But my train will not stop at this station and after reaching Bangalore its very difficult to coming back to Karmallram,
so is it possible to get down in hosier and get a passenger train to travel from Hosur to karmellaram with the same reserved tkt(TEN-SBC).
