Effective and Efficient  use of existing resources    in the    SALEM DIVISION  OF THE RAILWAY SYSTEM .

1.       In the Railway Colony side of the   ERODE Railway Station,  Permitting AUTO STANDS,  BUS STOPS, MINI BUS TERMINUS, SHARE AUTO STAND, Two Wheeler parkings,  car parkings,  and   ATMs of BANKS  will reduce the congestion at the station front side  and will generate revenue for the railways without single paise investment.

Above all it will reduce the potential for accidents at station entry/exit.

2.        The   ERODE – COIMBATORE  passenger  train     leaves   ERODE BY  7.00AM AND RETURNS BY 8,30 PM AFTER MAKING TWO SHUTTLE TRIPS.  It can very well be extended to SALEM  by starting it at  SALEM by 5.30 am   and terminating there by 10.00pm.    It will help both Tirupur  & COIMBATORE bound PASSENGERS  from SALEM onwards and vice versa. Further itv will make the small railway stations more active with  regular  passengers  (Industrial workers , students , and  small scale vendors )

3.  Similarly,  SALEM -     YESHVANTPUR    passenger train  can very well start at ERODE  BY 4.30 AM  and terminated  by 11.00pm (It does not involve any additional expenditure, no new space requirement ; 2 new   passenger services for  ERODE – SALEM SEGMENT)

4. The poorly patronised   ERODE – SALEM   segment of ERODE – METTUR DAM        can be withdrawn  and it can serve as    METTUR DAM –SALEM – VRIDDHACHALAM- CUDDALORE – METTUR DAM   operation. (Puducherry,  Chidambaram  passengers will also  use it will be near to them:  ofcourse NEYVELI  and Saint Ramalingasami’s Vadalore too )  Passengers  from Erode onwards    can still use it by boarding the Erode – Yeswantpur  passenger train.

5. The   ERODE  - TRICHY  passenger train  can easily  be extended   to Tanjaviur  by  starting it at Erode an hour earlier.    Further , by clubbing              NAGAPATTINAM / NAGORE/ ANNAI VELANKANNI./ KARIKAL  bound services  with this ERODE – TRICHY train we can integrate seamlessly  the  WESTERN DISTRICTS  WITH EASTERN DISTRICTS  . Tourism  will flourish. All religious pilgrims  {Hindus, Muslims, Christians )  will bless the RAILWAYS with revenue.

6.  Erode – Tirunelveli   passenger service can be extended up  to   Trichendur. (  Let us get the benefit of the UNIGAUGE  SYSTEM:  Let us get rid of the shackles of long gone METRE GAUGE )

7. ERODE –  JOLARPETTAI  SERVICE can be extended up to THIRUPATHI   as the KATPADI – PAKALA – TIRUPATHI section is now under broad gauge.
