രാവിലത്തെ ട്രെയിൻ യാത്രയിൽ ശ്വാസംമുട്ടണ്ട: മെമു വരുന്നൂ, കോട്ടയം വഴി കൊല്ലം-എറണാകുളം റൂട്ടിൽ

A new MEMU train service between Kollam and Ernakulam via Kottayam will begin on October 7th, 2024, running five days a week (Monday-Friday) until January 3rd, 2024. The service aims to alleviate overcrowding on the Venad and Palaruvi Express trains. The MEMU will depart from Kollam at 6:15 AM and arrive...

at Ernakulam Junction at 9:35 AM. The return journey departs from Ernakulam Junction at 9:50 AM and reaches Kollam at 1:30 PM. This service will provide relief to passengers who were inconvenienced by the Venad Express no longer stopping at Ernakulam South station. The MEMU service will start after the Vande Bharat Express departs from Kollam at 6:00 AM, eliminating the need for a stopover. The service will use an 8-car MEMU. However, there are challenges for the railway, including the need to renovate the Kollam MEMU shed and address local opposition to the shed's construction, as well as scheduling locomotive pilots' work hours. Discussions are ongoing regarding stops at Chingavanam, Kumaranalloor, Kaduthuruthy, Kanjiramattam, and Chothaniakkara stations. The train numbers are 06169 (Kollam to Ernakulam Junction) and 06170 (Ernakulam Junction to Kollam).

Kollam aur Ernakulam ke beech Kottayam se hota hua ek nayi MEMU train service 7 October, 2024 se shuru ho rahi hai, jo hafte mein panch din (somvaar se shukravaar) January 3, 2024 tak chalegi. Ye service Venad aur Palaruvi Express trains mein bheed ko kam karne ka maksad rakhti hai....

MEMU Kollam se subah 6:15 AM par chaliyegi aur Ernakulam Junction par subah 9:35 AM par pahunchegi. Waapas ki yatra Ernakulam Junction se subah 9:50 AM par shuru hogi aur dopahar 1:30 PM par Kollam pahunchegi. Is service se un yatriyon ko rahat milegi jinhen Venad Express ke Ernakulam South station par na rukne ke karan pareshani ho rahi thi. MEMU service subah 6:00 AM par Kollam se chalu hone wali Vande Bharat Express ke chalan ke baad shuru hogi, isliye koi bhi rokaav nahin hoga. Service mein 8-car MEMU ka istemaal kiya jaayega. Halanki, railway ke liye kuchh chunautiaan hain, jinmein Kollam MEMU shed ka navikaran aur shed ke nirman ke virodh se nibadna, saath hi locomotive pilots ke kam ke ghanto ka schedule banna shamil hai. Chingavanam, Kumaranalloor, Kaduthuruthy, Kanjiramattam, aur Chothaniakkara stations par rokne ke baare mein charcha chal rahi hai. Train numbers 06169 (Kollam se Ernakulam Junction) aur 06170 (Ernakulam Junction se Kollam) hain.

    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...
