Just been wondering if the loco reversal at ERS can be dispensed with to save precious travel time. The following options can be explored:*

Option 1:
Kerala Express can be routed via Kottayam Four days a week and Triweekly via Alleppey. Thus it can halt at ERN when it runs via Kottayam and halt at ERS when it runs

via Alleppey.

Option 2:
SR should explore possibility of laying a 1 km connector line from ERS to Kottayam line so that trains need not have a rake reversal at ERS. Construction of additional platforms at ERS to accommodate the rush be explored.

Ur comments awaited

Re# 877500-1              
can they run with 2 locos one in front and another in rear from TVC till ERS , like sapthagiri express ? This avoids loco reversal at ERS.

But again when TVC bound Kerala exp arrives at ERS, time will be lost for attaching loco at ERS towards SRR end. Similarly time will be lost for detaching TVC end loco at ERS for NZM bound Kerala Express
