CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has written to the Railway Board seeking permission to prepare feasibility reports for two proposed bullet train corridors connecting the State with Kerala, said a report by Daily Thanthi.
The proposed routes include Chennai–Thiruvananthapuram via Tiruchi and Nagercoil and Chennai–Ernakulam via Salem and Coimbatore.
