Weekend getaway to Puducherry

We are planning a weekend getaway for the long weekend (15-17 Aug, 2008) and the popular choice is Puducherry - The French Riviera of the East. Have read a few reviews on Mouthshut and Lonely Planet and concluded that it would cost about Rs. 3000/day. I'm having a tough time figuring out what trains go from Bangalore. Found this Indian Railways Time Table website and downloaded the Route Map with table numbers Adobe document. Looks like the closest town via rail is CUDDALORE JN(COT) or VILLUPARAM JN(VM). KSRTC runs two Volvo bus services - one in the night and one during day and costs Rs. 380/- per ticket. Found this travelbyvolvo blog informative.

Attempted to book the Volvo tickets via AWATAR Online Booking System but it only allows ICICI credit cards and SBI cards.
