Railway Coach Restaurant Coming Soon to Coimbatore Junction

Coimbatore Railway Junction is set to get a unique dining experience with a railway coach restaurant, similar to the one at Chennai Central. The project is currently underway near Lanka Corner railway bridge.


Coimbatore: The Southern Railway is bringing a novel dining experience to Coimbatore Junction with the upcoming launch of a railway coach restaurant. This initiative follows the successful implementation of a similar concept at Chennai Central Railway Station, where a decommissioned railway coach has been transformed into a unique eatery.

The railway coach restaurant project in Coimbatore is currently in progress. The designated location for this innovative dining space is near the Lanka Corner railway bridge, at the front of the railway station. This strategic placement aims to attract both travelers and local food enthusiasts.

A railway coach that once served various cities across Tamil Nadu has been allocated for this project. The coach is currently undergoing renovations to be converted into a fully functional restaurant. This repurposing not only gives a new lease of life to the retired coach but also offers diners a distinctive ambiance.

According to recent reports, the tendering process for the railway coach restaurant is expected to take place next month. This step will determine the operator who will manage and run the unique dining establishment.

The concept of converting old railway coaches into restaurants is part of the Indian Railways' initiative to create novel experiences for passengers and optimize the use of retired rolling stock. These restaurants not only serve as attractive dining options but also as nostalgic attractions, allowing patrons to experience a piece of railway history while enjoying their meals.
