Chennai Central–Coimbatore Shatabdi Express is a Shatabdi superfast train between Chennai Central and Coimbatore Main Junction in Tamil Nadu.[1]

History

The Shatabdi express which was running earlier was converted to Duronto Express, a non-stop train in 2011. It was decided to convert back to Shatabdi and add additional stoppages to increase revenues.[2]

Rake and loco

The rake has 7 AC Chair Cars, 1 AC Executive chair car and 2 EOG Cars making a total of 10 coaches. The train got new LHB coaches in November 2014.[3] All the passenger coaches are air-conditioned. The rake is pulled by Royapuram WAP-7.
