Yes...This was the question which I had as well when I travelled in this train once between ROU-ERS. Surprisingly good crowd boarded at intermediate stations like BZA, Ongole, RU towards ERS as well. Surprisingly no stoppage at Thrissur ( probably the only train in Kerala to not stop). Their used to be 2AC ( 2 coaches) as well which has been discontinued. Hope it is restored. As of now lot of slack from CBE till PGT to allow overtakes of at least 3-4 trains. Reaches on time at ERS.
This train can easily reach in the morning at 7 :30 am at ERS even this train can be extended till Nagercoil Jn as of now there is no train for kanyakumari in Hatia -Rou-sbp- VZM section.
It can reach ERS at that time, but because of lot of commuter trains ( office goers) etc, ERS is relatively packed from 7am onwards with lot of pass through trains. They generally dont receive too many terminating trains between 7am-9am since it is peak hour. Extension to KCVL/CAPE was once proposed but not approved
