This service connects the cities of Chennai to Karaikudi via Tiruchirappalli in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. General informationThe Pallavan Express was introduced to run parallel to the Vaigai Express, which could not complete the round trip between Madurai and Chennai. The express was initially introduced between Chennai and Trichy on 15 August 1984. Later, it was extended till Karaikudi, effective from 1 September 2013. The express along with Vaigai express serves as fastest public commutation mode between Chennai and Trichy apart from air. The Express makes the {{convert|426|km}} run in 7.15 hours with only 13 stops. It is the most popular day train for travel between Karaikudi and Chennai Egmore via Trichy, making the one-way trip in just over 7 hours as compared to the 9{{ndash}}10 hours by road. The train attains its maximum speed of {{convert|110|km/h}} on the Vriddhachalam-Villupuram segment of the line. ScheduleIn recent developments, the train which departs Karaikudi at early morning changes locomotive at Trichy and reaches Chennai Egmore at around noon.[2] Then it swaps as Vaigai Express departing for Madurai. As the other pair of Vaigai Express arrives Chennai Egmore, the train is swapped as Pallavan Express, departing early evening and changes locomotive Trichy and reaches Karaikudi late night.[3]{{efn|The timings are in Indian Standard Time.}} The train has one pantry car for providing continuous refreshment/food supply to passengers. This Train runs via the Chord line through Tiruchirappalli. RakesThe train is being hauled by an electric locomotive between {{rws|Chennai Egmore}} and {{rws|Tiruchirappalli Junction}}. And between {{rws|Tiruchirappalli Junction}} and Karaikudi, it is hauled by diesel locomotive, since the line is not electrified and vice versa.
