Thiruvananthapuram: DRM Dr Maneesh Dhaplyal stated that additional coaches have been allowed in nine trains to manage the crowds. The occupancy rate is over 150 per cent in both Vande Bharat trains starting from here. As the number of coaches has increased, more than 1000 tickets are also available in the Vande Bharat trains to Kasargod and Mangaluru. Nine trains, including Parasuram Express and Palaruvi Express, will get additional coaches. Vanchinad Express might also get a few additional coaches soon.

The number of coaches has been increased from 12 to 14 in Thiruvananthapuram—Kollam, Thiruvananthapuram—Nagercoil, Nilambur—Kottayam, Nagercoil—Kottayam, Alappuzha—Kollam, and Kottayam—Kollam trains.
