Get set go… !! The chuggy whistles again….
Time to give your boring nerves the pampering they have been longing for as Indian Railways’ Southern Railway zone resumes the train services in the entire Mettupalayam – Udagamandalam (Ooty) section of Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR).
The services of the NMR were stopped in March 2020 to avoid the spread of Covid-19 in the country and it resumes after a gap of almost nine months.
The NMR services upon resumption will be operated as fully reserved special trains.
One pair of the fully reserved special trains will be run between Mettupalayam and Udagamandalam and three pairs of fully reserved special trains will be operated between Coonoor and Udagamandalam.
The same fare structure which was in force in pre-COVID times (prior to the suspension of services) will continue.
