Advance reservations for the above Weekly Special Fare Special Trains are open<\/p>\n

It appears that Southern Railway did not operate any dedicated “Summer Special” train between Chennai (Egmore or Central) and Nagercoil during 2025<\/strong>. Instead, here are the relevant services that did run:<\/p>\n

  • 06090<\/strong>: Returned from Nagercoil at 19:00 hrs<\/strong> on 13 and 20 January<\/strong>, reaching Chennai Central around 09:30 hrs next day<\/strong>.
    \n([turn0search3]\ue202turn0search6]\ue202turn0search10]\ue201)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This service was specifically timed for Pongal festival travel<\/strong>, not conceptually a summer special.<\/p>\n

    06012 \/ 06011 \u2013 Tambaram \u2194 Nagercoil Weekly Specials<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
