THRISSUR: A timely protest by commuters averted the efforts of railway authorities to detain the Guruvayur-Eranakulam Passenger train (56371) in Thrissur on Tuesday morning. The train reached Thrissur Station on time and was received in platform number three instead of the usual plat form number one. Smelling detention in Thrissur to give way for the late-running Chennai-Alapuzha Express (16041), a section of passengers rushed to the duty station master's room and protested against the detention. Finally, the station master contacted higher-ups in Thiruvananthapuram and got permission to release the Passenger train before the late-running Alapuzha Express. |
