I traveled in this a couple of weeks back from ERS-KTYM. It was introduced hardly two weeks back then.
I usually board Vanchinad Express from ERS as a continuation from SBC to ERS by 16315. At times 16315 reach ERS a bit late, and i would miss Vanchinad and be forced to go by bus. New memu (66307) is a good option, as it work as a catch all for a lot of people like me who wants to travel towards KTYM side after reaching ERS from SBC by 16315.
However, that day,...
more... when i missed Vanchinad, there was not even an announcement about this memu's departure from ERS. I decided to casually check PF6 to see if 66307 is parked there. Luckily the train was still there, and it was almost 5:15, the departure time. I boarded the train and a few more people were able to board it, as the train started only by 5:20 or so.
I must say, the journey was really fast and nice, and I could reach Ettumanoor by 6:30 or so.
I just hope they keep running this train current this timings.
By the way, there was a news that SR has withdrawn the memu rakes from operation and stared using passenger rakes. Any idea about this?
