Chennai Madurai Duronto Express was a Duronto Express belonging to Indian Railways which was operated fully Air-Conditioned Superfast Bi-weekly train connecting Chennai and Madurai via Salem in Southern Railway zone. This train was cancelled with effect from 10 June 2020.
This Duronto Express now converted to a Chennai Central–Madurai AC Superfast Express. It runs three days a week along with the Chennai Central–Madurai AC Superfast Express (20601 / 20602) which runs once a week.
The ever-growing inflow to the State Capital from Madurai and its neighboring districts and the heavy rail traffic on the Tambaram-Villupuram-Madurai section,[3] is the prime reason behind operating the train from Chennai Central.[4] And hence the fact that it takes a longer route via Salem, Namakkal, Karur, Dindugal. The train makes only one commercial halt at Salem Junction across the Chennai-Salem-Madurai line.[5] [6] [7] It is now running with LHB rakes (Linke Hoffman Busch) from 26 JUNE 2018 and is maintained at Chennai Central.
The train consists of one 1 AC First/Executive Class (1A), 2 AC Two-tier (2A), 9 AC Three-Tier (3A) and 2 EOG.
