Introduction
Coimbatore is set to experience another milestone in railway connectivity! The Vande Bharat Express connecting Ernakulam to Bengaluru via Coimbatore will begin operations on October 11, 2025. This announcement has brought excitement among commuters and frequent travelers between Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka.
Faster and More Comfortable Travel
The new Vande Bharat train will significantly cut down travel time between Ernakulam and Bengaluru. With modern design, improved seating, and state-of-the-art features, this semi-high-speed train promises a smoother, faster, and more comfortable journey for passengers.
Operating six days a week, the service will enhance business, tourism, and family travel between the three states — Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka — with Coimbatore as a major connecting hub.
Coimbatore’s Growing Transport Network
With the launch of this Vande Bharat service, Coimbatore continues to strengthen its position as a key transport and economic center in South India. The city has already seen several infrastructure upgrades this year — from new road flyovers to enhanced bus terminal developments — and this new train route adds another boost to the region’s connectivity.
The Vande Bharat Express will offer premium amenities such as automatic doors, comfortable reclining seats, GPS-based passenger information systems, and onboard catering — blending speed with comfort and convenience.
Benefits for Passengers and Tourism
The new route is expected to attract both business travelers and tourists. The train will make it easier for people from Coimbatore to visit cities like Bengaluru and Ernakulam, while also welcoming visitors from these cities to Coimbatore’s industrial and cultural destinations.
According to railway officials, the initiative aligns with the government’s vision of expanding modern train connectivity and promoting sustainable transport solutions.
