the railways are running this train on thursday only because the rake is running idle at ypr.
it is going to be a big waste atleast while returning.
The return timing is so horrible! 3 am at kjm is a joke on everyone! instead it should leave kcvl at 1630 so as to reach kjm at 0700 and ypr at 0800. i wont be surprised if this train runs with a lot of empty seats while returning
ideally...
more... we need more trains to kerala from blr on fridays and returning on sunday.
also, im not a fan of durontos. on the delhi trip, this rake should be converted to an ac express to have more patronage and make it more useful
Another thought i have is to have this train running to a poorly connected place like vskp rather than delhi.
Either way, running a train like this on an already packed date like thursday will do more harm than good for the railways.
