"Island express" a name which allways to come with a sweet travel plans. I am back on this Train after 10 years I guess. I am quite sure that This is name is known to every Malayalee guy in Bangalore since its connecting link for thousands of bangaloreans to kerala:
I can't stop wondering (flashback ) of the plans we used to make..
- -Counting days as 'after 2 days I will be on this train.
- -Imagining the unique vibration (cradling of train) which will make as fall asleep.
- -Wondering if any cute girl will be their in the compartment.
- -Awaiting the sweet fried banana breakfast at palghat station.
- -Watching the Bharathapuzha River flowing alongside early in the morning.
- -Sitting firm when the train passes over the ottapalam bridge( to avoid the train loosing balance and falling into the river).
- -Musical thump of the train.
Some other characteristics :
- Need to book the seats 45 to 90 days in advance.
- Has more than 20+ bogie's
- Guess its one of the most profitable rail routes
