Videos from a journey by the 12223 Duronto Express from MAJN to ERS.

Some HORRENDOUS section controlling from PGT and TVC division ensured that the train was trolled all the way by making it trail behind the 22609 MAQ CBE Intercity and a freight train after Shoranur.

This train could be extended to Kannur with existing timings in the existing CLT - TVC - CLT route. This can be made possible with a rake sharing arrangement similar to the one of 16305/16308/16306/16307 done at Kannur. (12076 arrives CAN afternoon - returns as 12081 next day morning. 12082 arrives CAN midnight - returns as 12075 next day noon). Maintenance can still be done at TVC itslef. If this arrangement is made, 12081/82 can be made daily thereby connecting north Kerala better to state capital.
