Kochi: Misery on the Venad Express without even a foothold. The passengers were confused in the overcrowded train. The scenes of the Venad Express coach where the passengers were crammed without even an inch of space also surfaced. Passengers alleged that the change in schedule was a big setback. Passengers staged a massive protest during the distress journey of the Venad Express. There is no place to even stand, including women and the elderly, who collapse in the train.
Passengers allege that the Railways is not intervening despite complaining several times about the miserable journey in the Venad Express. The Railway Passengers Association has demanded that the number of general coaches in Venad Express should be increased, the timings should be rearranged so that the train is not delayed and the MEMU service should be started.
The train that departs from Thiruvananthapuram at 5.25 am often reaches Shornur very late. Ernakulam-bound passengers are also suffering due to the delay of the Venad Express. Venad Express is a train that is relied upon by morning office goers and students alike. Passengers say that the problem will not be solved without starting the MEMU service via Ernakulam.
