Commuters in Malabar have been facing a double whammy of non-resumption of passenger train services and the decision of railways to cancel or short terminate trains for taking up doubling of tracks between Ettumanoor-Kottayam-Chingavanam stations in the Ernakulam-Kayamkulam sector.
Railway officials said that changes were made in the train services to facilitate the doubling of tracks within a time-bound manner. As such some of the trains were rescheduled, partially cancelled and others fully cancelled.
The Mangaluru–Nagercoil-Mangaluru Parasuram Express, Kannur -Thiruvananthapuram-Kannur Jan Shatabdi Express, and Shoranur -Thiruvananthapuram-Shoranur Venad Express will be cancelled from Friday (May 20 ) to May 28.
