Accordingly, the special train with 21 coaches will leave Kollam at noon on Wednesdays and Saturdays and arrive at Coimbatore at 6 pm. It will reach Tirupati at 3.20 am the next day. Similarly, the special train will leave Tirupati at 2.40 pm on Tuesdays and Fridays and reach Coimbatore at 10 pm on the same day.
