Please note that all the trains in the list are being run as express trains. Most of these trains were running as passenger or MEMU services earlier now run with a ‘0’ in the beginning of their numbers indicating that they are special trains.

(For example, from Kottayam to Ernakulam or from Trivandrum to Kollam or from Ernakulam to Thrissur or Kozhikode to Kannur). Reservation is not required for these trains though some have it available indicated in the timetable. Reserved tickets can be purchased through IRCTC.
