Train services between Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram
were disrupted for a few hours early Sunday as a high-tension line of
the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) fell on a railway electric
line, damaging the traction distribution system. The system was restored
by 7 a.m.
The Kozhikode Janshatabdi Express,
scheduled to leave Thiruvananthapuram, at 6 a.m.; Venad Express to
Shoranur at 5 a.m.; and Kollam - Thiruvananthapuram passenger scheduled
to leave at 8.30 a.m. from Kollam were cancelled for the day. The
Mangalore - Thiruvananthpuram Express, scheduled to reach
Thiruvananthapuram at 4.45 a.m., was terminated at Kadakkavoor. The
Maveli Express to Thiruvananthapuram; Chennai - Thiruvananthapuram
Superfast Express; and Mangalore - Thiruvananthapuram Malabar Express;
were terminated at Kollam.
The cancellation of trains led to crowding at the Thiruvananthapuram Central station.
