This train (MDU RMM) is kept on the Madurai platform way before the departure time of 12:40, so if you come early (~1 hour before departure), you can get a nice window seat, and try getting a seat to your left (direction MDU RMM) to avoid the sun. The train will be quite packed by the time it departs Madurai, and majority of the passengers get down at station PMK. And after station RMD, this train runs quite empty.
Once the train approaches the final phase of it's journey (way before the pamban bridge), you can spot the sea far away on both the sides of the train, and as the train progresses, you can notice the sea shore

getting closer and closer towards you. Just before the train enters the bridge, you can spot many peacocks on the side of the tracks. Once you enter the bridge, (track speed limit: 15 kmph), if you look down, you can notice the sea water gushing with pace in a certain direction, and if you focus fully down, it's almost scary / thrilling at the same time ... makes you wonder how in the world did they construct the bridge in the middle of sea. You also have a wonderful view of sea all around. Even after you cross the bridge, before arriving at RMM, the sorroundings would be very pleasant with white beach sand dunes/palm trees/coconut trees... See the attached pics. You almost feel like you're strolling on a beach, but you're on a train.

Pushpak express..!!!
Travelling in this train since early 2000s. It had no halts at MMR,ET and LAR earlier; however speed is maintained even after increased halts.
Thanks to Jhs-Cnb line electrification.
The best train from Cstm to Lko, always maintains punctuality. It is like one of the few trains in India who are always booked with a healthy waiting list.

many VIPs travel by Pushpak, the A/C coaches are very comfortable and well maintained.
Pantry is better than most other trains. It has got new rakes with charging points at every seat and bogies are fitted with bio-toilets.
It is an ISO 9001:2008 certified train.
I wish every super fast train should learn lesson of punctuality from Pushpak...!!! :)
