Great decision from SR....Lot of trains lost their credibility due to these stoppages in between 10 to 20 km, In my childhood I used to travel only Vanchinad exp which had only one stop between KTYM and TVC ie QLN and now it became like a Passenger. Trivandrum-Jodhpur exp (now KCVL-Bikanir) skips Shornur junction initially. The trains from TVC should stop Kollam, Kayamkulam or Chengannur then Kottayam in between Ernakulam. Due to the interest of Politicians all these stops introduced. Try more intercity, passenger and EMUs instead of this. Not only in Kerala SR removed lot of unwanted stops in TN also kudooooooooos to IR…..brave move
