All the delays to be fixed immediately after the inauguration of CHZ station as the train to be operated independent without any RSA with 3 Rakes now the only Confusion is SR taking the rake or SCR. If SCR then the TT will be revarsed.

The train can be resheduled to depart late by 1 hour from TVC instead of KCVL. This will ensure a link with MAQ Mail & YPR-CAN Exp connecting North Kerala. It will be useful than the existing time where it runs between 2 trains that run via same route and arrives SRR at an odd time.Also adding more coaches and making it a 20 coach train will help improve the patronage and solve the crisis faced by commuters to a certain extent.
