Title - Southern Railway appeals for orderly bordering of trains

MANGALORE: Southern Railway has appealed to passengers travelling on board Nagercoil - Mangalore - Nagercoil Ernad expresses and Mangalore - Coimbatore - Mangalore Intercity expresses to note the rake configuration. Most of the express trains running in the division are running with 22 to 23 coaches. At the same time Nagercoil - Mangalore - Nagercoil Ernad expresses and Mangalore - Coimbatore - Mangalore Intercity expresses are running only with 13 coaches.Passengers to board these trains are standing from one end to another end of the platform. After the arrival of these trains passengers standing in the rear end of the train, start to run forward to board the train. This creates hardship to passengers especially for ladies, children and aged people, Southern Railway authorities stated. Hence passengers of intercity and Ernad expresses should see the coach indication boards and stand within 13 coach limit to avoid last minute hardship.
