RFIR~ 6887 blog postsUp till Palakkad this train probably runs as superfast after which i think it sheds its superfast tag. After Palakkad, it has got a stop after every 15 minutes till Ernakulam. Palakkad to Ernakulam is about 140 km and this train takes almost 4 hours to cover the same.
That is true for most trains once they enter Kerala because thereafter they STOP WHEREVER THERE IS A COCONUT TREE .
As far as 4hrs are considered, its the slack time provided to compensate fr any delay that would have occured over such a large part of journey.....
Almost each and every train has got umpteen stops in Kerala- even Kerala Express is not spared
The only genuine superfast train within kerala running without any slack time is Bangalore Ernakulam intercity express....takes just 2 hours and 20 minutes between palakkad and ernakulam which is the quickest time by any train between these stations
normally InterCitys' has less slack when compared with long distance trains
