From TVC side, workers have GHY express. But from Mangalore side, there is no train and Mangalore - Chennai mail act as perfect link. When train reached Kannur, many workers boarded my compartment, and i was the only person in my bay who was not among the workers. By the way, they didnt create any issue and gave my seat and berth when asked for. They were courteous. But problem is that(in my bay), they had 7 confirmed seat and 10 people traveling in it. 3 was having waiting list. In adjacent bay, 5 confirmed seat and 10 people in it. By the time train reached Calicut, situation turned pathetic, for moment it was like i was traveling in General compartment. But then someone complained and newly introduced train captain came into picture, he scolded TTE and then removed UR travelers among them. As train reached PGT, kicked out...
more... people were back to position. And after PGT, new TTE came, he also did same, but after that, people were back into position. Since i moved to UB after SRR, it was ok. But again, i would say it was bad journey, in other bay, they were singing and talking in loud in midnight and early morning. From Malabar side, one HWH/GHY train is must, which can run behind Mail or ahead of mail
