At last trains are running through CBE and we also getting some trains for CBE. For the first time, a train has been extended from PKD to CBE (Manglaore Intercity Express), Because usually CBE trains will go into kerela and nothing will come back. Alleeppy is diverted by CBE but at a cost of losing 15 minutes to my favorite "Blue Mountain". But its ok. We have to lose something to get something eilla...Soon have to divert manglaore trains via CBE.. Thanks and a well done to COIMBATORE RAILWAY STRUGGLE COMMITTEE..
