Once Vanchinad was known as Executive, for it precise timings and few stops. On return from TVC 8:30 PM it used to pass Kottayam. On time most of the time. Now it runs as a passenger between ERS and KTYM, KYJ & KLM and KLM & TVC. Atleast if the ERS-QLN MEMU ( which does not run full) can be run inforont of Vanchinad till Kottayam so that at Kottayam passengers can catch Vanchinad the MEMU and Vanchinad will be benefitted. Also the KTYM-QLN passenger can be used to changer over to Vanchinad at KYJ. Thus reducing the running time of Vanchinad and it would help End to END passengers.
