I have been travelling from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam on weekends by Ernakulam Express (16342). The journey starts at 17.25 and the scheduled time for train is 21.30. But it seldom reaches in the scheduled time ,atlaest for the last 4 months. It is late atleast by 40 minutes. The majority of working people in Thiruvanthapuram relies on this train to reach their homes. It is really inconient for working women who travel to Ernakulam and trichur to reach their homes at late night.We should consider the problems of their family waiting at houses. I beleive this problem will be addressed by giving its importance.
