Special trains between Madurai and Mysuru for Dasara, Deepavali
South Western Railway will run weekly express special trains between Mysuru and Rameswaram to manage extra passenger rush during Dasara and Deepavali in October and November.

The train includes two AC 2-tier coaches, five AC 3-tier coaches, eight sleeper class coaches, four general second class coaches, one second class coach for differently-abled passengers, and one luggage-cum-brake van.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The special trains add 20 weekly services over two months, targeting the festival rush that usually overwhelms regular routes. South Western Railway has not announced advance reservation dates or fare details, leaving passengers to watch for a separate notification. The inclusion of dedicated coach for differently-abled passengers follows the railway's accessibility mandate. The real test is whether the schedule, which links Mysuru to Rameswaram via Madurai, aligns with peak travel days for both Dasara and Deepavali.
