Re# 2993501-3              
wish this becomes a permanent train on this route / many years back (during my school days) , our family frequently visits MDU from CBE and there were 2 passenger trains plying in both directions on a day via PTJ POY UDUMULPET DG
IMO ., the sleeper berths are not really required but 2s and unreserved second class coaches will be more beneficial to this train
