Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

Being a frequent traveler from tvc, I totally dont support this TT change.
But there are few points which I would like to point out about speeding up of this train. There are almost 5 stops between KYJ - KTYM which are less than 20 km apart ( some less than 10 km!!!). Similarly between KTYM - ERS & ERS - TCR, there are stoppages which can be totally omitted. I strongly feel like, stoppages for long distance train like this have to be between 40~60 km. With MEMU operational, many of these stations will be connected. SO Making KK stop for a passenger travelling within Kerala can no longer be an excuse!!!

be a DAY RUN train in Kerala, is a CURSE. And this curse is gaining its strength year by year, by adding more stoppages.
I am staying near kazhakuttom, which is 14 km from TVC and is a station on Main line, and there are many families in this area using this train to NDLS. Should we all demand stoppage at kazhakuttom !!!! NO.
My humble request to all the passengers for whom there "Home Town" station will be omitted ( which I dont think will be omitted in near future), is that pls pls dont object to IR. Take a taxi, auto or bus to get to ur nearest station. If U still feel like injustice is done to you for making you use public transport for 20 Km , request IR to build main line and stations near ur home, which would be more convenient.
