Lets just talk the truth, Though MAS is a city , reaching them at 04:30 AM is going to be a hassale especially for people who are dependent on EMU local or bus.
Stupid TT - Even BZA MAS VB is stupid TT
Although...
more... train could be a perm hit, the timing has to be changed in such a way it took become profit
MAS - 09:00 AM (09:00 AM dep will give lot of PF availabilty)
PER - 09:15 AM
KPD - 10:25 AM
SA - 12:55 PM
ED - 13:40 PM
TUP - 14:20 PM
Podanur (CBE) - 15:05 PM
PGT - 16:00 PM
TCR - 17:00 PM
Aluva - 17:50 PM
ERN - 18:20 PM
KTYM - 19:50 PM
In this case , Sabarimala people can take bus and do early morning Darshan with Abhishegam
Return should be as follows:
KTYM - 11:00 AM
ERN - 11:55 AM
Aluva - 12:10 PM
TCR - 13:00 PM
PGT - 14:10 PM
Podanur - 15:05 PM
TUP - 16:00 PM
ED - 16:40 PM
SA - 17:35 PM
JTJ - 19:55 PM
KPD - 20:50 PM
Perambur - 22:00 PM
MAS - 22:50 PM
This would be the best return TT for the train
