The Mannargudi – Mayiladuthurai Passenger is a passenger train of the Southern Railway zone of Indian Railways. It runs daily between Mannargudi and Mayiladuthurai Junction in Tamil Nadu.[1]
Rake sharing
The Mannargudi – Mayiladuthurai Passenger (56001/56002) was operated using the same rake as the Mannai Express (16179/16180). After arriving at Mannargudi in the morning as Mannai Express from Chennai Egmore, the rake was deployed in the evening as the Mannargudi – Mayiladuthurai Passenger. It returned at night from Mayiladuthurai to Mannargudi. During its passenger service run, the air-conditioned coaches of the rake were locked. Later, they were opened again when the rake resumed service as the Mannai Express.[2]
