Southern Railway has announced a significant change in the service of one of the country’s longest-running trains, the Vivek Express, for a period of one month. Due to ongoing engineering works, the train service to its final destination, Kanniyakumari, will be partially cancelled until the end of October.
In an official release, the railway stated that Train No. 22504, the Dibrugarh – Kanniyakumari Vivek Express, will be short-terminated at Nagercoil. This regulation applies to all services leaving from Dibrugarh starting from September 28, 2025, through October 28, 2025.
Consequently, the train will be partially cancelled on its final leg between Nagercoil and Kanniyakumari during this period. The decision has been taken to facilitate essential engineering works being carried out in the Nagercoil – Kanniyakumari railway section.
Passengers who have booked their travel to Kanniyakumari on this train are advised to take note of this change and make alternative arrangements for their onward journey from Nagercoil. Southern Railway has urged all passengers to check the revised pattern of services and train schedules before commencing their travel to avoid any inconvenience.
