The train No.0877 and 0878 Visakhapatnam – Kollam -- Visakhapatnam weekly on every Sunday leaves Visakhapatnam at 9.00 a.m. and leaves Kollam every Monday at 7.15 p.m. This train has two second class sitting-cum-luggage compartments, six second class coaches besides the four reserved coaches of sleeper class, one AC 2 tier, one AC 3 tier and two first class coaches. Those who decide to travel instantly in unreserved coaches by obtaining unreserved general tickets do have luggage racks. Those were convenient for “Sabarimala devotees” and those ready to bear something extra could even make use of the Tatkal facility, said Senior Divisional Commercial Manager H.L. Luwang.
