Hi guys,
I see, this train is cancelled in January for 2 consecutive trips for reason being Castle Rock Vasco doubling. If anyone here from SWR staff, can you please confirm, whether have they planned any such cancellation for February, I know its bit early to predict, but if any of you guys have any info, please let me know, as I have 40 seats booked here for occasion in Tamil Nadu.

Please,...
more...
if you have any sort of info, share it, so that I can reschedule it to Bus from train.

Thanks in advance !!
