How was the journey, rush etc. Any specific feedback ?
I was not aware of the fact that incoming 20631 will not return as 20632. But the porters and VB staff guided me back to PF.No.1 where another rake would be coming. On that day, 20632 ran with white rake. Our coach was full. Intermediate travellers are more in number. Got good priority till Kayankulam. After we joined ALLP line, we were crawling and halted before Cheppad for 30 mins. Again we started and stopped after 10 mins. This happened again and again. And we halted at Harippad.

Good feedback. Yes there are a set if trains departing from ERS around 8pm like ERS-Okha, ERS-Ajmer and few others as well. For people between TVC-ERS (via Allp), this VB is a good connecting option. And rightly said that the main success of VB in Kerala is because of the intermediate passengers and coverage to almost all major towns/districts in Kerala
Adding to the above tip, the VB attendants were all local people which I have not seen so far in my travel experience. They speak Malayalam and also Hindi very fluently.
Yes this was highlighted in the beginning when the services started and also there were escalations that the food served was not local cuisine and was not good. Later they have corrected it. The base kitchen cooks are local staff and also good to see that they have deployed staff who can converse in local language. Hope the other VB' in TN and Karnataka also take a leaf out of this
