I think politicians and passenger associations should realise how at the cost of adding more and more stops has led to such pathetic speeds from some of the so called superfast trains. Passengers have no other choice but to pay superfast charges depsite some of them having such low speeds. Sample a few examples below.
Superfast trains in Kerala !!!!
1) 12625- TVC NDLS Kerala express- Distance between trivandrum -ernakulam-220 km. Time taken 4 hours 30 minutes. Average speed 48km/hr
2)

12624- TVC Chennai Mail-Distance between between trivandrum -ernakulam-220 km. Time taken 4 hours 40 minutes. Average speed 47km/hour
3) 12696-TVC Chennai Exp-Distance between between trivandrum -ernakulam-220 km. Time taken 4 hours 25 minutes. Average speed 49km/hour
4) 12512-TVC Gorakhpur raptisagar express-Distance between ERS-Palakkad-151 km-Time taken 4 hours-Average speed 38 km/hour !!!

Regarding 4. It used to reach PGT at 1.30PM as per old TT. Don't know why they made it 2PM. I guess, this train can skip SRR. It is wasting lot of time at SRR

Re# 1131412-2              
That is correct. That time departure from TVC was probably 5:15 i think and arrival at ekm was 9:30 or thereabouts. I think now the departure has been delayed to give a reasonable gap between Ernad express, Bangalore intercity and janshatabdi (towards clt). Because of it stopping after every 20 minutes, it takes such a long time. Amongst angamali,chalakudi,irinjalakuda,wadakkanchery,ottapalam at least 3 stops can be withdrwan.

Ya between ERS and TCR there are many stops. According to me Angamali not needed. It should be either Chalakudy or Irinjalkuada(if both are removed also its ok). Wadakkanchery and ottapalam not at all needed. Wadakanchey people can travel in Venad to catch rapti and OTP is just 13km from SRR. If it is going to SRR, no need of OTP. If skipping SRR, can keep OTP. Its a SF and is stopping like passenger

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
