Today I had a casual discussion with a Rly staff and was astonished to know that earlier Rlys used to run spl trains to melmaruvathur (ML) from PalakkadTown(PGTN) with TT something similar to preset day CBE-ML spls(06067/68) during Aadi months. Those trains hd all UR coaches with PGTN dep at noon and next day arrival at ML. There used to huge crowd especially women for those trains and agents from all over Kerala used to travel back and forth booking tickets in bulk nos:.
