Flashback: Only Dindigul region bus to cross Salem
நமது குழுவில் எத்தனை பேருக்கு இந்த முயற்சியைப் பற்றி தெரியும்??
AUG 2015 வாக்கில் சேலம் மண்டலத்தின் குமுளி – சேலம் – பெங்களூரு சேவையை போல் கம்பம்-2 கிளையில் இருந்து ஓசூர் – தேனி / கம்பம் ரூட் முயற்சி செய்யப்பட்டது.
எனக்கு தெரிந்து சேலம் நகரின் வடக்கே வந்த ஓரே TN57 பேருந்து இதுவாக தான் இருக்கும்.
ஒரு மாதம் கூட தாக்கு பிடிக்க முடியாமல் போயிற்று.
TN57 N 2228
TNSTC-Salem started Kumily-Bangalore service via Salem in Aug’15. In same lines, TNSTC-Madurai’s Dindigul region started Hosur-Theni/Cumbum service for some time. To our knowledge this is the only Dindigul region(TN57) service to run north of salem till Hosur.
Flashback: Only TATA Bus built by Dindigul region
To our knowledge, TNSTC-Madurai’s Dindigul region didnt have any TML with them. Infact before 4-5 years, TNSTC-Madurai received good number of TML buses. But all of those were retained in Madurai region and none were seen running with Virudhunagar/Dindigul regions.
TN58 N 2113. This is little unique as this was built by Vathlagundu body building unit of Dindigul region. Though they didnt own any TML, they built this and sent it to Madurai region. This is one very long runner which ran in Tirupur-Nagercoil route. Typical running pattern of this bus was Madurai-Tirupur-Nagercoil-Madurai. With few hours rest, they will start the trip again.
