Sabarimala Specials 2014-15 from Chennai, Bengaluru

Southern Railway (SR) has announced Special trains for the annual Sabarimala pilgrimage season (Mandalakaalam) falling in the months of November and December 2014 and January and February 2015. All these trains will be starting from Chennai with all except one pair (which terminates at Ernakulam) going to Trivandrum via Kottayam KTYM and Chengannur CGNR which are the primary stops for Sabarimala pilgrims. From these stations there will be regular services of KSRTC buses and private vehicles will also be available for hire until Pampa. It is recommended that Sabarimala pilgrims take the train because of eternal congestion on Kerala roads. The tables below provide a snapshot of the timetable, view below to see details for the Sabarimala Special trains.
