This service will provide relief to passengers who were inconvenienced by the Venad Express no longer stopping at Ernakulam South station. The MEMU service will start after the Vande Bharat Express departs from Kollam at 6:00 AM, eliminating the need for a stopover. The service will use an 8-car MEMU. However, there are challenges for the railway, including the need to renovate the Kollam MEMU shed and address local opposition to the shed's construction, as well as scheduling locomotive pilots' work hours. Discussions are ongoing regarding stops at Chingavanam, Kumaranalloor, Kaduthuruthy, Kanjiramattam, and Chothaniakkara stations. The train numbers are 06169 (Kollam to Ernakulam Junction) and 06170 (Ernakulam Junction to Kollam).

Halanki, railway ke liye kuchh chunautiaan hain, jinmein Kollam MEMU shed ka navikaran aur shed ke nirman ke virodh se nibadna, saath hi locomotive pilots ke kam ke ghanto ka schedule banna shamil hai. Chingavanam, Kumaranalloor, Kaduthuruthy, Kanjiramattam, aur Chothaniakkara stations par rokne ke baare mein charcha chal rahi hai. Train numbers 06169 (Kollam se Ernakulam Junction) aur 06170 (Ernakulam Junction se Kollam) hain.
