Thanks for reply, Will the crowd gets better after ernakulam ? What about food catered ? is it OK ?.

Your query leaves my mind labouring under a false delusion.Your query has a tinge of Ambiguity to it.WILL Crowds get BETTER ? :)
AFAIK, The train crawls along at a leisurely pace with no sense of punctuality whatsoever.

crowd gets better means?????
there is no pantry car... station vendors will be there... Morning Breakast is usually had either from thrissur or Ernakulam and lunch at Kollam

I am sorry my question is not clear. The question is two frequent travellers in this train have given two different opinions. 1. Short distance travellers get into reserved sl & ac compartments and create discomfort to long distace travellers ie, travellers travelling to kanykumari. 2. As the train crosses ernakulam there will less passengers in sl & ac so you can enjoy the privacy+scenary slowness of train wont bother you. Which one of the two opinions is correct ?. I am travelling to kanyakumari for first time. some one told sbc-cape nagarcoil express via madurai is better option. Do frequent travellers like you agree?

Err...Yes.As you are newbie, you will enjoy the greenery flying, or rather, crawling past you :) I have not travelled much in this train.But I have commuted on the TVC-ERS sector umpteen times and I doze off on the way.FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT.
I do not fully agree with the fact that the train is 'empty' after ERS.In fact, the throng might get worse with all the TVC guys going back to their houses.As in all trains, the unreserved people will make their presence felt and add to the crowd.As the TTE is lax, you will have to bear with it.
