From P. V. Hariharan : My point is not whether Marusagar Express should have a halt at a particular station or not. That will be decided based on revenue generation and strategic needs.
The unfortunate story is that there is a misuse of this forum by persons with half-baked information , jeopardising the reliability of this site. for example , a few months back someone sent a mail that the halt for 12978 exp. at Tirur has been eliminated. With great alacrity, this forum eliminated the Tirur stop at least from the train schedule. I also believed this and advised someone proceeding to Kottakal to terminate his train journey at Calicut. and not proceed up to...
more... Tirur. But now I have found out that the halt was never removed. The legend for 12978 train for April 12, 2013 shows that the train has completed the journey with arrival and departure at Tirur as 12=23 a.m. and 12=25 a.m. respectively. as per the railway schedule.
My request to the Managers of this blog/forum is not to make any changes without verifying the actual fact. after all there is a printed time table and as far as possible, they would not like to mutilate it too often.
The legend is from Southern Railways website and nobody can argue about it.
