Mainline Electrical Multiple Units (MEMU) services on Mettupalayam–Coimbatore/Podanur have been augmented by 4 cars, in response to petitions by different train user organisations. Effective from August 10, these trains are running with 12 cars in total.

These trains are well patronised, particularly in the morning and evening hours. Hundreds of commuters travel on these trains, resulting in overcrowding and prompting many users to request for additional coaches.
