About my Journey from Bangalore to Tiruppur

My home is in Mettupalayam and I have moved to Bangalore for work. I stay in Jayanagar, which is one of the topmost residential and commercial areas in Bengaluru. I usually travel to Tirupur from Bangalore more than 2 times a month.

I book tickets on either of the following trains depending upon my travel dates and ticket availability KOCHUVELI EXP (16315), YPR KANNUR EXP (16527).

I would suggest you all book the tickets in advance or you can opt for Tatkal the previous day of your travel date. Tatkal booking is quite a tedious task, and the risk of booking is quite high since you need a high internet connection to load the IRCTC website or app.
