# Tiruchi-Palakkad Express partially cancelled on Oct 23, 25 2026-10-21T15:23:09+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Train No. 16843 Tiruchi Junction-Palakkad Town Express will be partially cancelled and diverted on 23 and 25 October due to engineering works on a railway bridge between Erode and Tiruppur. The Salem Railway Division said the train, scheduled to leave Tiruchi Junction at 1 p.m., will be short-terminated at Ingur on both days. After the works, an unreserved special train will run from Ingur to Palakkad Town. The train will be diverted via Irugur-Podanur, skipping stops at Singanallur, Peelamedu, Coimbatore North and Coimbatore Junction on those dates. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The partial cancellation and diversion affect passengers on a key route linking Tiruchi with Palakkad via Coimbatore. The engineering works force the train to terminate short of its destination, with an unreserved special train covering the Ingur-Palakkad leg. The Salem Railway Division's release names the bridge works as the cause but gives no end date beyond the two diversion days. Passengers must plan for skipped stations at Singanallur, Peelamedu, Coimbatore North and Coimbatore Junction on 23 and 25 October. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straightforward service notification with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
