    Thanks for that info. Have you travelled on this train. Just one more question since I have heard conflicting details. Is the Nilgiris Blue Mountain & the so called toy train one and the same? And does this train follow the same route as the Indian railways ?

    Hi ya its same train,from Mettupalayam to Udagamandalam this is the only train runs,no other train route is there. Usually it waits for " Blue Mountain Express"express from Chennai,then departs. You going to to catch Coonoonr,thats why i said you can get ticket at counter.Many ppl getdwon there. But if you planning to get tickets Mettupalayam ,USUALLY its over crowded you dont get tickets.Its small train only 5 or 5 coach . Hope it helps u . Radz
