✅ Traveler Advice
- If planning travel between Chennai and Ernakulam, you’ll need to rely on regular scheduled trains (e.g. Chennai–Ernakulam Express, Alappuzha Express, etc.).
- If associated with pilgrimage or holiday travel, consider 06113/14 (for Kollam) or 06061/62 (for Velankanni) as alternate seasonal options, keeping in mind supplemental road/transit connections to Ernakulam.
- Booking Information: Confirm seats availability for clinker services like Kollam special or Velankanni special via IRCTC or PRS in advance.
- On travel day, always check NTES or IRCTC Live Status to anticipate potential delays—special trains often operate at lower priority.
