Already there are 2 trains from calicut to shornur by 5AM and 5:20 am, Mangala and shornur passenger.Mangala will be there up to Ernakulam.If people want to reach ern before jan shatabdi can utilise that.
Most of the passengers travelling in jan shatabdi is coming from out side the corporation limit, and utilising the busservice. The first bus from different routes reaching calicut by 6am Except the highways.
Average running speed of this train is 57 km/hr.
It...
more... is not a bad speed , can be reached most of the destination before time.
For improoving the speed
1) Avoid stopping in stations like Ankamaly , aluva etc..
2) Give preferance in crossings (ERN-KYJ)
More than this try to complete the doubling in ERN- KYJ atleast by next decade.
