Introduced as an intercity express between Bangalore and Coimbatore from 1st August 1997. From 1st July 2008, it was extended to Ernakulam.
Interestingly, according to the Lok Sabha debates, this train replaced a Bangalore-Coimbatore Shatabdi express that was running initially as a weekly and later as a tri-weekly. Apparently the Shatabdi was started in early 1997, but was replaced by the intercity within a few months of its inauguration.

Shatabdi? No, there wasn't.
The CBE ICE had RSA with MAS ICE at CBE end, isn't it?

This surprised me too. I am just digging up a few documents to see if I can find any mention of the Shatabdi. In the meanwhile you can see in these snippet searches that a Bangalore-Coimbatore Shatabdi is clearly mentioned.

The MAS-CBE ICE was a replacement of the MAS-CBE Shatabdi. (MAS-CBE and SBC-UBL Shatabdi were introduced around the same time,

and both were replaced with ICEs - the UBL Shatabdi being replaced by Siddhaganga).
The MAS-CBE Shatabdi was a 6-day affair for some time and it is mentioned that the SBC-CBE Shatabdi was a weekly. I guess it had an RSA with the CBE Shatabdi. And also, all three (if the SBC-CBE Shatabdi did exist) also would have been converted to ICEs at roughly the same time.

The CBE- SBC ICE had RSA with a MAS - CBE ICE, that I can remember the TB. Those days I wasn't aware of RSA and used to wonder what the board meant.

Yes. I had travelled few times from CBE in SBC IC when it had RSA with MAS IC.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
