This train apparently has been stopped and does not seem to be having an extended run. There seems to be no news of its continuation after 25 November,2013. During the limited course of its run, there were no shortage of berths and the occupancy was not that high.

Ideal option would be to extend till Chennai.Even though its is just a weekly it would still help in a small way in reducing load from Tata-Alleppey express.

Nagavali slot is free...but getting approvals is very tough i guess.....
But a good time and rake adjustment may also be problem....
