So, you mean to say if a new train to SBC/MAS and TVC is introduced you accept it skipping Ernakulam citing it has already got connections to SBC/TVC.
You have compared Alleppy with TVC Mail & Cheran. Both are SF and Alleppy is Express train.
You are complaining 16042 takes same time as Cheran between CBE & MAS. You are comparing with TVC Mail. Both are SF. This is ridiculous. I have not seen anyone demanding a Non-SF to be fatser than SF in any section of IR.
What...
more... ever you say in future no trains can skip CBE and also some might be rerouted. CBE came out of PGT. So, no more injustice to CBE.
Regarding patronage at CBE. You mean to say 15 Lakhs populated city not able to provide whereas small towns/villages could.
I have travelled in 16042.
If you again say if needed connection a new train can be demanded. I can also say for every 10-15 KMS stop people should demand for MEMU and not ask the Express train to halt.
