The station is a part of the Trichy railway division one of the 6 divisions of the Southern Railway zone.

History[edit]

In 1861, the Great Southern of India Railway (GSIR) built the 125 km (78 mi)-long 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in)-wide line between Nagapattinam and Tiruchirappali (then known as Trichinopoly) via Thiruvarur, Thanjavur and the line was opened to traffic next year. It was a new development south of Chennai. After taking over GSIR by South Indian Railway Company in 1874, the Nagapattinam–Tiruchirappalli line was converted to 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3/8 in)-wide metre gauge in 1875.

Location and layout[edit]

The Thiruvarur Junction is situated on the Panagal Road which is sandwiched between the Netaji Road and the CoimbatoreNagapattinam National Highway 83, the two arterial thoroughfares of the towm.

On the Panagal Road is also located the Thiruvarur Bus Depot where buses to Nagapattinam, Velankanni, Karaikal, Mayiladuthurai, Adirampatinam, Mannarkudi, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam and several nearby destinations are available.

The nearest airport is the Tiruchirappalli International Airport some 105 km away from the station. The next nearest train stations are Mankudi (south), Kulikarai (west), Adiyakkamangalam (east) and Vijayapuram (north).
