Now let's see which train will get these coaches, SBC ICE or another shock from TVC by LHBfying CLT JS or anyother train?

The most favourite train of Malayalis living in Kochi going for Bengaluru and vice versa soon going to be LHBfied soon.

Brand new LHB 2S coaches of 2024 alloted for 12677/78 Ernakulam KSR Bengaluru intercity was parked at Ambattur along with new rakes of SL and UR for 22643/44 ERS Patna Biweekly(via Asansol), 16335/36 Nagercoil Gandhidham weekly and 16733/34 Rameshwaram Okha express as well.

(I dont know why 2S coach were been alloted for ERS PNBE and NCJ GIMB)

I took some risk as well to capture pics since Ambattur is an busy station for local train and express traffic however I manage to take pics at middle of the sick line where another empty rake was stabled there.

For your views.....
