And one day I got a chance to travel through that route.
For that I have to take ticket ,and it was just 2 day before that I decided to go to Mumbai.So of-course I will not get reservation ticket, coz all seats will be reserved.But thank God, Indian Railway have also considered people like me who will have immediate journeys. That is railway, keeps about 20% of Sleeper Class (SL) free and tickets to that seats will be issued only one day before the travel, at 10am. So those who want the ticket should go to reservation counter at the early ( depending on rush) and wait in queue there until 10am.
I did the same, and got it. Rs. 650/ from shornur to Lokmanya Thilak, which is a city near to Mumbai.
My train was Thiruvananthapuram-Lokmanya Tilak Netravati Express. My arrival station name is Lokmanya Tilak Termins (LTT).
It took 24Hrs to reach there.
Some major stations in the route are:-
Kozhikode-kannur-Manglore-Uduppi-Madgaon-Rantnagiri-Panvel-Thane
My interview was in Chembur E, opposite to chembur police station.
Before this, my another interview wan in santa cruze W.
To go to Santa cruze, I get down in Dadar railway station and took Local train.
There was an office of Jamaath Islami, where I could stay. The person in this office said to getdown in Panvel and take local train to Santas Road.
