Grievance Description : In the The latest System Map, an official drawing in the Operations Information System of the official Indian Railways website, shows that the Irugur – Coimbatore double line has not been given its ‘due status’ as a main line and continues to be treated as a branch line.The Podnaur – Irugur single line continues to enjoy the status of being the main line. At present, nearly 8 pair of trains running on the Irugur – Podanur – Irugur line skip Coimbatore Junction. In terms of classification, both the lines are clubbed under Group B (a higher gradation wherein trains could be run at 130 kmph). If one were to go by the markings in the official map, the 10 km line between Irugur and Podanur is considered to be the main line from Chennai with the kilometre continuity being maintained. The line from Irugur towards Coimbatore via Singanallur, Pilamedu and Coimbatore North starts at 0.00 km and ends at 17.70 km at Coimbatore Junction. The branch line from the other side of Coimbatore Junction ends with 167.01km, indicating that Coimbatore is being treated as a termination for the line from Dindigul via Palani, Udumalpet, Pollachi and Podanur. Thus Coimbatore will not form part of the main Madras Line and will be treated as a terminating point for the line from Dindigul while the Podanur – Irugur section will be the main line. This is a clear indication that even after two years of gauge conversion (Podanur – Coimbatore) and doubling of the line (Irugur and Podanur), Railways has refused to give the main line status for the line via Coimbatore. ‘Coimbatore will not form part of the main Madras Line’.It will be treated as a terminating point for the line from Dindigul. This would ultimate results in more skipping of trains to Coimbatore Junction. will the authorities look into this and solve it?
