Maintenance work on the tracks in Kerala has resulted in the cancellation and diversion of several train services on Thursday. The Thiruvananthapuram-Kannur and Kannur-Thiruvananthapuram Jan Shatabdi services are among those that have been cancelled. The maintenance works taking place on the stretch between Chalakkudy and Karukutti have caused some train services to be cancelled fully, while others have been partially cancelled.
This disruption to train services has caused inconvenience to many passengers who rely on the railway system for their daily commute. ‘I had no idea that my train was going to be cancelled until I arrived at the station this morning. It’s frustrating because I have to get to work and now I have to find another way to travel,’ said a passenger who was affected by the cancellations.
The maintenance work being carried out is necessary to ensure the safety and reliability of the railway system. ‘We apologize for the inconvenience caused to our passengers, but these maintenance works are essential for the safety of our trains and passengers,’ said a spokesperson for the railway company. The railway company has advised passengers to check for updates and alternative travel arrangements on their website or by contacting their customer service helpline.
