The 16236/16235 Mysuru–Thoothukudi Express is a daily train service between the cities of Mysuru and Thoothukudi operated by the South Western Railway.

Introduction

This train connects the Palace City Mysuru in Karnataka with the Pearl City, Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu. The train initially operated from Madurai to Bengaluru before being extended to Tuticorin, after that it extended from Bengaluru to Mysuru. Then the train belonged to the Southern Railway and hence is numbered as 16731/16732. Now it's renumbered to 16235/16236 so now it's operated by South Western Railway. It's one of the highly patronized trains of Mysuru division in South Western Railway. Passengers from Southern Tamil Nadu districts requested to Railway Department to divert this train via Karur–Namakkal–Salem new line instead of Erode line due to shorter route and also this reduces the traveling time up to 1.30 hours.
