really an excellent train for RF/General travel,as it passes through palghat nd runs MPS most of the time post joining SRR-CBE line till salem,from salem till darmapuri(be on right side) doorplating would be my best suggestion as it climbs over deccan plateau which offers great views :) overall the crowd was decent,nd most of them get in from aluva and get down at CBE,from there second set of crowd joins till SBC
