Some speeding up & change of timing can be expected in this train in the new time table especially in the final leg of its journey. Currently there is huge slack between Aluva & Ernakulam [ 2 hours allotted to cover 20 km).
Everyday the train is stopped at Angamali or Aluva for almost 2 hours and at least 4 trains overtake this one . The long dist passengers are the worst sufferers.One can easily get down from this train and catch a bus and reach faster !!!!
Now...
more... finally have received a response from TVC divn manager indicating a change in time in the new time table !! The tweet pic attached.
