livery (a la old style Rajdhanis), briefly switched to GREEN-YELLOW (like present day Garib Raths) before falling in line with the REGULATION BLUE.
When it was a non-daily train it shared time slots with AP Express and KK Express. Yes the KK express, when introduced a couple of months later, was the KERALA-KARNATAKA EXPRESS. The train from Delhi used to split at Katpadi or Jolarpettai and one portion used to go to Bangalore and the other to Trivandrum (now called Thiruvanthapuram). Similarly the 2 portions used to combine at one of these stations and run to New Delhi. Later on all of them were made dailies with separate time slots.
