Thanks to all my friends here for giving me a detailed information. Hope there is less rush during this season. This is my first journey in Raj and I planned my journey specifically to board this train as it is the new LHB rakes. Saw the new rakes on YouTube posted by Indianrailways. This guy has a great knack for taking some excellent videos.
So the timing for Raj at Mangalore during January would be 5:30 pm. When does this reach Kollam in the morning?
