![]() ![]() The retained old M.G.Line enabled undisturbed passenger and goods traffic in the Rameswaram–Manamadurai-Madurai–Dindigul-Pollachi- Palakkad Jn. track in the Dindigul- Madurai section was not dismantled and laid a new B.G.parallel line. Thus when the Karur- Dindigul ( new route)-Madurai B.G.Line was constructed, the M.G. The gauge conversion in the Tiruchchi and Dindigul section isolated the M.G.network centered around Dindigul and Madurai. Right from the very declaration of the "Uni-Gauge" Policy in the year 1992, Conversion works were actively carried out in Tamilnadu simultaneously when B.G.lines for new routes were also constructed. The fact remains that it is neither the operational viability nor the feasibility for enhanced traffic earnings that entails an M.G.line for conversion, but the strength of political lobbies on its favour. Need to beat the Pollachi town traffic that's the key either early morning or night.During the last few years the Railway Budgets have come out with a bouquet of offers for passengers and corporate by rightly using a series of marketing techniques purportedly to support the demanding needs of the market economy.Įach year the Budget gave emphasis on the big task of gauge conversions, one of the critical factors for improvement of rail transport services. I started early morning after Nirmalya darshan in Guruvayoor at 4.45 am so it was bliss and very quickly crossed Thrissur from there to Vadakancherry oncoming traffic with high beams and volvos ripping across.įrom Vadakancherry-Pollachi-Avinashi. Need to ask for directions as the roads are quite busy and Aluva town traffic quite high.Īluva-Angamaly busy highway and signals with lorry traffic is trouble some.Īnganmaly-Guruvayoor was fine. I had to use the route as Kalady bridge was under repair. ![]() Kanjirapally-Muttom occasion potholes need to negotiate little bad stretches. Hyderabad-Dindigul- Four laned nothing to really write about except for bypassing Banglore used the route Devanahalli-Hoskote-Hosur.ĭindigul-Theni Roads are in good condition but the town roads narrow down and pot holes have to negotiate them. Onwards Banglore-Theni-Mundakayam-Sabarimala. Return, when you come towards pollachi, there is a board which talks about this bridge construction and hence you wont miss this but for those who are taking the opposite direction, pls be aware of this. Then he showed me a small cut road (bumpy road) to by pass the area. Luckily, there were some beat cops who saw both of us taking the wrong route and then they "chased" us in their bike and told us about the wrong route. When I reached this place, there was a truck infront and then seeing the blockade, the truck took a side road and I followed. Įarlier, there was a service road (kind of) to by pass this but then now, it is closed. I am not sure where exactly is the bridge construction as I am not familiar with the place names in Pollachi but I felt it is almost near pollachi town. ![]() You need to take the palghat route and then there is a deviation which connects to the original route. One thing to note on this route is, there is some bridge construction happening in pollachi and hence the direct route is closed. Infact, I mostly do night drives as the traffic is sparse and hence is less tiring. ![]()
