I enter the Thanjavur station around 9.40 pm on 13.5.15 to travel in S7 coach to Kovilpatti in Chendur Exp... The whole day train timings and the allotted platforms are promptly Displayed in the digital board .I ascertained Chemmozhi Exp to Coimbatore may arrive at 9.45 pm and Chendur exp to Tiruchendur at 10.35 pm in the same platform no 1.
During the arrival and departure of the Chemmozhi Exp in P 1,i watched the 24 Coach indication board in P1.All the Board act as the Station Indication Board.

These board does not indicates the coach position of the trains from the engine such as S1,B1,A1 etc.
I ascertained my coach position as 6 from the Engine in Chendur Exp from our indiarailinfo.com .So many passengers are asking vendors and others for their coach position in the Platform 1.
Trichy Division may convert all these Station indication board with the City Union Bank Advertisement as Coach Position Indication Board in the Platform 1.
Moreover on both side of these display board at the bottom strip Coach position number from engine may be marked 1 to 24 towards Trichy side and the other side 24 to 1 towards Chennai side permanently in paint so as for the public viewed the coach position from engine during the failure of the display board.

In the same Trichy division, in Thirupadripuliyur station ( Cuddalore Town near Central Bus stand ) perfectly marked the Coach position in the ground of the platforms with the engine direction movement as Towards Chennai side c 1 to c 24 and Towards Trichy side c 24 to c 1 from engine which are very useful to all the passengers.
In all the station these kind of marking in the floor of the platforms are very useful one .
