I have traveled by this train on yesterday to Ernakulam.
Here are my observation;
1) Started from platform #2 at Calicut Station and at #1 train Hapa -Tirunelveli has came.
2) Very neat and clean atmosphere inside of the train
3)...
more... 95 % of the seat has booked from the Calicut itself, remaining 5% has packed from Tirur. Excellent Patronage and so many last minute travellers, and some of them, not able to confirm the ticket.
4) Arrive 10.00 am at ERN, a little bit late.
5) Some how, this train stopped at Karakkad near 7 minutes.
6) I see some minor electrification work during Ferake and Kadaluni Station
