Location

The railway station is located on the Adirampattinam Road, Pattukkottai. The nearest bus depot is located in Pattukkottai and is less than half a kilometre, while the nearest airport is situated 96 kilometres (60 mi) away from Tiruchirappalli International Airport.

Lines

The station is a focal point of Chennai–Rameswaram line. Due to the Karaikudi Jn to Thiruvarur Jn gauge conversion, the trains have been suspended for few years. The line is being converted to broad gauge at a high pace and is expected to be activated from June 2019.

Once the gauge conversion work is completed, Trichy railway division has plans to operate two trains between Thiruvarur and Karaikudi.

There are two proposed lines which have been approved by Indian Railways. One is Needamangalam Junction–Mannargudi–Pattukkottai branch line and the other is Thanjavur Junction–Pattukkottai–Karaikudi Junction branch line.
