This railway station serves the tamil town of Pillai which lies very close to the border with Kerala state.Although as the name suggests it is a junction it is not a busy station.Very few services are there from this station the most prominent one is Amritha express connecting Madhuram with Trivandrum.The station is well kept and very clean.It has a neat toilet and seating is available for passengers in the platform.But the station does not have any functioning food or snacks shop.So it is advisable to buy your snacks or bottles water from the shops in the main road.Also there is no ATM was seen also

One of the serene railway station I have ever seen. Not much of modern amenities but the climate and the tranquillity of this place is great. Consists three platform, surrounded by trees. Behold the beauty of the coconut trees opposite to this junction, which may be a rare scene in other junctions. Not equipped with escalator or lift, it has a big and lengthy ramp, helps senior citizens and disable to reach platforms. One or two small VRR shops are available in platform, which may not satisfy snacks lovers. Big parking place, but without shelter to save vehicles from scorching sun. Bus facilities are available to Pollachi bus stand.

Pollachi railway station was built by British Government on 1850. it was coming under Palakkad railway division. Many trains connecting to this station through Coimbatore and Palani. The platforms are very clean and the station is little away from town. So its very calm and Beautiful.

The crane was initially used in Madurai but was shifted to Pollachi in the early 1980s, where it was used till 2008, when broad gauge conversion began. At present, only mechanical cranes are being used in Pollachi, an official explained.In the last phase of broad gauge conversion, the Dindigul-Pollachi-Podanur-Palakkad section became an isolated meter gauge section, when ‘Rajarajan’ was used extensively in Dindigul to remove coaches for transportation between Pollachi and the Golden Rock Railway Workshop in Ponmalai, Ti

For kinathukidavu,palakad, Coimbatore, Udumalpet,Palani its the cheapest and best mode of transportation.It has a reservation counter!! Parking area is somewhat ok! As its not a main station so the facilities are not in high state! Simply the station located here is not for a name sake but for a reasonable cause Pollachi junction plays a major role!

Alight here for visiting the Parambikulam national park. Situated in Palghat district of Kerala, the approach to the park lies only from Pollachi side.Located 35 kms from Pollachi, via Anamalai, Sethumadai and Top slip. 2 wheelers are not allowed Post Sethumadai and the door to Top slip is opened only at 7AM and closes at 6PMForest accommocation is available in Parambikulam. Animal spotting, especially deer, elephants and gaur is guaranteed. Picturesque spotTNSTC operates 2 schedules from Pollachi to Parambikulam at 6:45 and 1545 while KSRTC (Kerala) operates a single schedule from Palghat via Pollachi at 945AM. Return, the buses leave Parambikulam village at 845, 1230 and 17750 hrsThe forest office is located at entrance to the forest while Parambikulam village is 25 kms from Forest checkpost. Safaris are conducted by forest deptIf you are staying in forest for night, better to take your own vehicle and stay. for single day trip, you can rely on the bus services. The safari takes 3 hrs round trip and spottings are goodFood is available but limited . Milk is not available and its generally black tea or coffee
