@ChristinMP_ It was a smooth experience. Match was over by 11 and I waited for a bit thinking there would be rush. Was pleasantly surprised to see Metros being almost empty by 12. Was a very good experience overall. I guess the news mention about the 50 minutes is correct.
@Nitin_Khatrii@marinebharat Electrification may not immediately mean all Diesel locos will be put out off commission. Many will be used for shunting and maybe even for Goods transportation.
@marinebharat TVC -Kasargod is already running. It will get extended in due course. Heard there is a chance of an additional train running in the opp direction sometime in the future. In that case, it will definitely extend to Mangalore since there will be less pressure on the return trip
@marinebharat Both Ernakulam Bangalore and Ernakulam Chennai will be Sleeper VB. And most chances are it will probably be from Thiruvananthapuram Central via Kottayam.
