We learn that the average occupancy of 16355/16356 Kochuveli - Mangalore Jn. Antyodaya Express is very poor. But our people (from Southern Tamilnadu) are demanding overnight sleeper train service from the Southern district of TamilNadu to Mangalore. We humbly request that 16355/16356 Kochuveli - Mangalore Jn. Antyodaya Express train to be converted to day time daily service train and run in the timing of 16605/16606 Nagercoil – Mangalore Ernad express as Trivandrum – Mangalore Jn Antyodaya Express for the benefit of Trivandrum city passengers.

2. Everybody is aware that the demand for daily overnight sleeper train is very high in especially Kanniyakumari - Mangalore direction . In this regard, we humbly request that 16605/16606 Nagercoil – Mangalore Ernad express train be converted to overnight express sleeper train (SL,3AC,2AC) and run on 16355/16356 Kochuveli - Mangalore Jn. Antyodaya Express train schedule (Nagercoil – Mangaluru Jn. Ernad Express) with stoppage at Eraniel and Kulitturai.
