Train Travel Tips
Page# 5 travel tips
Good choice for passengers who travel anywhere b/w the route from TVC to NDLS via CBE, TPTY, NGP. Fares are reasonable. Punctuality is maintained most of the time. Make sure to reserve your tickets as early as possible because demand for this train is high. Food is okay. Good enough for railfanning.
-- this trains is longest daily running train , it is also one of most punctual train ,
-- it ran together with karnataka exp , but later both were separated .
-- this train also has most number of rakes which is 7 .

Though the speed of the train is good, ironically its the run within kerala where the train's average speed is lower than a superfast train. The Palghat-TVC onward and return journey takes far too much time . It takes 4 hrs from ernakulam till trivandrum and 3 hrs 15 min from palghat till ernakulam !!!
Sir , which train u prefer to go new delhi to tiruvanantapuram
Before KR route, this train was popular, now people prefer north trains via KR, shortest route. That is why many reds.
This is also equally popular and important. And now post ZBTT, this is the only train from Delhi which has got a evening departure. This was demanded by lots of people who used to travel to KL. Rajdhani, Mangala, Milleniume all depart early morning between 5am-6am, which is not convenient for many people. Both Mangala and KL express also are convenient for lot of intermediate passengers as well no wonder runs full througout the year
If u plan to reserve tickets for SL on Sundays, u should be prepared to witness heavy rush of UR passengers from KYJ till PGT... In fact u may not get ur seat.
Agree. In fact if i am not mistaken either S-8 and S-9 OR S-9 and S-10 are palakkad/coimbatore quota coaches. Ideally passengers with sleeper tickets are supposed to board these two coaches but invariably all the sleeper coaches are jampacked. After thrissur its relatively vacant. Even the new Ernakulam-Palakkad MEMU which moves ahead of this train probably till Thrissur is not able to reduce much load from this train .
First of all before I start let me say everyone that I am not against Kerala Express but these are facts which I have experienced whenever I travel from Tirupur to New Delhi.
The biggest headache is getting a confirmed ticket in Kerala Express,especially in AC.
The maintenance in Kerala Express have also become worst day by day.No Cleanliness you will often see Rats in Kerala Express.

No use to change boarding point as Tiruppur, because same quota for both Tiruppur and Coimbatore, I know this trick and is useless. So only to go to Nizamuddin from Erode I opt for Erode to Saharanpur Quota in 12687. This Saharanpur Quota may surprise you with up gradation, but not the NZM quota, because 80% train gets vacant at Nizamuddin.
Bro, when it comes to cleanliness, Kerala express is good from the starting place (TVC), i noticed many times.. once it go on , rats and mice all due to passengers worst behaviours..
As a passenger we need to follow some basic things, while travelling in train...
think the maitenance staffs also human being...
i had a horrible experience, recently while i travel...
