Hope it doesnt have the same fate as 13351 which is running in a pathetic manner after reaching Kerala.
And why cant they get down at Ottappalam/Wadakkancheri? CBE-MAQ pass can be run behind these SFs from Palakkad. And in the return direction, for Dhanbad, CLT-SRR-CBE pass exists, and for Rapti slot trains there is 16860 MAQ-MS running ahead. They should use those connections instead of making passengers bound South of SRR suffer a lot due to slow LR of SRR.
