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.

May 12 1862. Inaugural run. How? Till 30th June 1862 Madras Railway was 312 Miles, 90 Miles short of MAS-Beypore & 238 Miles shy of MAQ (Finished in 1907)!!
I hope its not a presumption and there must be some train's TT as back up which you link as progression of 46 long years gap of non existence of Through Train/Coach & Rail Network!! click here Tells in 1888 at 18:00 some train DEP MAS which was forerunner to 1 MAS-MAQ Mail!!
I show you non existence of Mail or Interclass Fare in...

Madras Railway when almost every Network had it in 1884!!
If its a presumption then Punjab/Calcutta/Nagpur Mail must start in 1858 as TT exist with Ordinary train ply till Vasind!! Either correct me or Timeline!!

Re# 4987589-14              
Portion in Attachment:
1. Sep 16 1865: Govn has declined to send mail from Beypore & Bombay until Railway is complete!! Paninsular & Oriental Company oppose creation of good port at Beypore!!
2. 1880-81: Canceled PDU-Beypore Mail was the only Second Passenger service in this section which is left with just one Ordinary!!
3. 1871: 11 Train exist (3 Night MAS-CBE/RC/SBC). All other run...

on short and long portion of line (complete Section running train defined for Great Southern Indian Railway). That means MAS-Beypore was MAS-CBE & CBE-Beypore (which later serve as PDU-Beypore & got canceled to be revived again past CLT Line sanction)
Its no doubt that 12 Malabar isnt dated in 1862 (& 12 Malabar Exp was never MAQ Mail)!!

Re# 4987589-16              
Basis /blog/post/4987589 & /blog/post/4987589 i don't have any doubt about timeline of MAS-CBE Nilgiri, Malabar Exp, MAQ Mail & MAS-Cochin Exp (along with Island Exp)!!
This is enough evidence to correct inaugural date which will be done if no counter evidence are reproduced!!

There always been speculation of Beypore Mail as "through" since inception which isn't true as per attachment dated Mar 29 1862 (for 11 May), which says:
1. 1,2,3 GD Class Train from SA to Beypore - SA 6:15, Beypore 17:30/6:30, SA 17:45
2. CBE-Beypore (till SA-Beypore line is pending. CBE 11:45, Beypore 17:30/6:30, CBE 12:20
Pic 2&3: Between Feb-Aug 1864 MAS-Beypore is still SA-Beypore...
more...
Ord, 1&2 Class attach at SA while MAS-SA is Goods!! Its slowed down to reach Beypore at 19:00 instead of 17:30 (SA ARR 18:40 instead of 17:45)
SBC inception in 1864 marked foray of: Nilgiri, Island, SBC Mail, MAS-Beypore Mail as Ord Service branched out of SA-Beypore Ord (which still exist as 3rd Class was attached in SA-Beypore Pic 4)!!
PS: Postal Letters of 1863 & Jan 1863 Experiment for P&O (Calcutta-Madras-Beypore-Bombay) already reinforced no through existence for Beypore-Mas (although SA-Beypore undoubtedly was forerunner of lot many Mails but its through CBE-MAS run will be the inaugural date as MAS-Beypore Line was through since 1862 owned by MR)!!
Pic 1: Forerunner of PTJ-Beypore/MAQ Mail as CBE-PGT Ord: 1&2 GD Class: CBE 7:00, PGT 8:40/15:15, CBE 17:00

Re# 4987589-18              
What happens to both the trains going to beypore after 1868. I am confused. In 1868 we have one direct train from Madras to beypore and 2nd one is connection train from Madras to Coimbatore and from next morning departure from Coimbatore to beypore. Actually what happens to this trains untill cancelled it in early 1880s. Does Madras( 5 pm departure) -beypore direct train convert into 2 trains Madras -CBE and CBE BEYPORE in between 1869 to 1880???? I am confused
