The long-standing demand of commuters in the Tirupattur district has been fulfilled as the Chennai – Bengaluru Shatabdi Express will now halt at Jolarpet railway station. This new stoppage, starting on Sunday, brings relief to passengers who previously had to travel 86 km to Katpadi station to catch the express train. The addition of Jolarpet as a halt station reduces travel inconvenience and provides better accessibility for commuters.
This decision is expected to benefit a significant number of passengers who regularly travel between Chennai and Bengaluru. The move is seen as a positive step towards improving transportation connectivity and enhancing passenger convenience. Commuters and local residents have welcomed the decision, expressing gratitude for the improved rail services in the region.
