2023-09-28 09:23:12

‘History will change when some people come’ – is a hit dialogue among Malayalis. One such change came in the travel habits of Kerala when the Vandebharat Express arrived. Vandebharat said that if he left Thiruvananthapuram in the evening, instead of waiting for the whole night, he might go to his house in Kasarakh and sleep at night. Malayali heard it. During the rush, Vandebharat was welcomed with open arms as he stood by their rush. Just as the first Vande Bharat started running as the pride of Kerala, the second Vande Bharat also arrived. When the journeys are facilitated, there is a situation where even tickets are not available from some stations. Or if you want tickets, you have to book days in advance. When Vandebharat became a hit, it can be said that Malayalees became more busy.

Tirur conquered Vandebharat with a ticket

Vandebharat train was not allowed to stop at Tirur in the first phase which led to huge protests. However, the second Vande Bharat came with a stop at Tirur. A grand welcome was given to Vandebharat by the people of Tirur. 44 people landed in Tirur from Thiruvananthapuram on the first journey of the second Vande Bharat. Those going to Tirur boarded the Vandebharat from Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kollam. Moreover, ten people from Tirur boarded the Vandebharat for Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasaragod. On the first day, the people of Tirur gave a good sign that allowing a stop for Vandebharat at Tirur would not cause any loss to the railways.

Second Vandebharat for Kalakan, Malayalees made the journey difficult

The first day’s journey of the second Vande Bharat (20631) started with 161.5 per cent occupancy. It is in chair car category and executive class category. A total of 856 people booked tickets. Out of this, 530 people traveled. Most of the travelers were from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam.
