Holiday plans hit as trains to Kerala are running full

 The aggregate revenue earnings in the ongoing mandalam-makaravilakku season at Sabarimala rose to Rs 114.66 crore on Monday, breaking the previous season's record of Rs 94.78 crore. According to the Travancore Devaswom Board, the income from the sale of aravana prasadam was Rs 48.97 crore and the hundi collection during the period touched Rs 41.58 crore.

Christmas and New Year holiday travellers to Kerala are finding it tough to get train tickets as a large number of people who usually travel by bus are opting for the railway because of road blocks along the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border over the Mullaperiyar dam issue. Last minute travellers are the worst hit.

Tickets on popular trains and special trains are on waitlist for Friday, a day before Christmas. Railways has stopped reservations for trains to Kochi because of the long waitlist.
The waitlist for the Chennai-Trivandrum sector varies from 297 to 423, while that for the Chennai-Ernakulam sector ranges from 281.

A few passengers are also looking at flights as an option. However, high demand and low frequency of services have pushed up the prices. A Chennai-Trivandrum flight ticket costs between Rs 11,000 and Rs 17,000 this week. An airport official said that fares have increased because of huge demand for flights departing this weekend.
