Summary:
Coimbatore: Southern railway has sanctioned a project to develop Irugur , Uthukuzhi and Vanjipalayam into full-fledged stations. In Irugur, we have a to raise the platform height, while in Uthukuzhi and Vanjipalayam, platform length has to be extended by 280m.”While Irugur is already an established goods station hub, Uthukuzhi and Vanjipalayam sations, which are near Tirupur, would also be developed. With many passenger trains being express trains, we cannot make them stop at every small station. “We can introduce more trains, including suburban trains, only after bettering the infrastructure,” Subba Rao said. As a first step, their platforms would be raised and extended to accommodate all 24 coaches of a train..
