Big announcement 📢

Zoho is planning a massive IT office in Tamil Nadu, spanning 200 acres near Kumbakonam, with a capacity for 10,000 employees.

This project will boost the local economy and create opportunities for people in Mayiladuthurai, Ariyalur, Thiruvarur and Kumbakonam regions.

Zoho's rural expansion strategy aims to empower local communities and distribute growth across Tier II and III towns, as seen in their existing hubs in Tiruppur, Trichy, Tirunelveli, and Madurai.

📍Valadi, Chordline.

The Picture shows the Simultaneous departure of 16868 Dindigul Villupuram Intercity Express and the Arrival of 56111 Villupuram–Trichy Shuttle.

But look upon...
Same corridor, similar timing, but very different fares.
The shuttle runs for a ₹10 base fare.
The InterCity charges ₹30, even though it offers no real advantage in speed, or service.

Why do commuters in one direction pay ₹20 more for the same travel...?

Shows how 16868 is not being used as a proper Intercity.
It has the potential to be a Chordline connector train timed to reach Villupuram around 9:15 Connecting The Pallavan SF and the Trichy–Tambaram Spl (via mainline) to Chennai. In return, 16867 Could Depart Villupuram at 18:15.

The current DG–VM slot would be better used as a pure shuttle, between Thiruchchirappalli and Cuddalore Port Jn as a morning service towards Vadalur and Neyveli.

Upon this,
Low-fare shuttles for commuters
A real Intercity for longer-distance passengers as speed increases, Stoppages reduce and 2S Kicks in
Instead of two overlapping trains with different fares.

விருத்தாசலம் - கும்பகோணம் - நீடாமங்கலம் - மன்னார்குடி - பட்டுக்கோட்டை வழித்தடம் பற்றி ஏன் யாருமே பேசுவது இல்லை?

ஒப்பீட்டளவில் தஞ்சாவூர் - பட்டுக்கோட்டை தடத்தை விட இது சாத்தியக்கூறு அதிகம் உள்ள திட்டம் மட்டுமல்ல மாற்றுப்பாதையாக பயன்படுத்தக் கூடிய திட்டமும் கூட.
