The Railways say it is a super fast rtrain. But I do not understand the logic behind her halt at very ordinary stationslike pattambi, Prappanangadi, Tirur, Kuttippuram, Payangadi, Nileswar etc. Either skip these halts or make it an ordinary express train. This art of renaming ordinary Mail/Express trains as super fast trains was conceived by the former Rail mantri, Lalu and his stooge Sudhir Sharma to show cash surplus in the railway's kitty. The very naming of the train is absurd. There is no railway station in Lakshadweep. The train is neither super nor fast.

Before KRC this was an ordinary train running from Mangalore to Nizamuddin and was called Mangala express. Once KRC started it began running through KRC and was converted into superfast and extended to Ernakulam. This is the only daily train to Delhi which is passing through the above said stations. So this may be the reason for stops. Once it crosses the state boundary it is really fast with less stops.
