A summer special, which had been introduced between Ooty and Coonoor, has also been suspended. On Sunday, following a trolley mishap, it had been announced that the services between Coonoor and Mettupalayam would be cancelled for two days. Regular trains between Ooty and Coonoor will run as usual. — Special Correspondent
