== Introduction ==<br />
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.There is a constant demand from south tamilnadu people to divert this train through Salem - Namakkal - Karur line for reduce the travel time and also the fare.<br />
