Silver line is not going to come in any case. Nobody is going to fund the same. Rlwsy wont approve. Already tendering has been awarded for Automatic signalling between ERS-SRR. Moreover speed upgrading works also in progress. with all this happening no chance of railways approving this

Some of the things that I came to know recently from a senior rail ZRUCC member. Trying to mention it briefly. The Malabar region always had a great preference for road travel ( own transport, pvt and govt buses and so on ) Rail travel was less. Now with work happening in NHAI, there has suddenly been a huge surge in passengers trying to opt for rail since travelling by road has become a big burden. This has increased manifold especially post covid. Existing rail is unable to meet this sudden surge in demand. Extn of SBC train is not going to happen. Even people of CLT wont prefer. VB extension is also not going to happen.
As an immediate step they

As per the article ', trains currently equipped with two general coaches will see their numbers doubled to four'.
When it was there earlier in some trains what was the need to reduce ? Sad to see that it has taken them so long to realise this !!! Hope they get back to the old coach composition

This wont happen. Practically not possible and wont benefit people in any case. In a regular Express train if people travel, they will reach in about 1 hrs 10 min. The metro for such a huge distance of more than 70k will have many stops and practically wont benefit. The cost for 1 km is 250 crore so one can imagine what the cost will be for such a long distance. Up till Kochi airport they can possibly try but even then that will also be a huge expenditure

Departure at 4am will not serve any purpose....To reach station people will need to leave that early which I don't think will serve the purpose. I am sure railways will themselves know this. Maybe beneficial to intermediate passengers probably from Thrissur & Palakkad. But from CBE onwards again it may be vacant since CBE-SBC there are already trains like CBE-LTT, VB, Double decker at different timings which gives more flexibility to passengers boarding from there

In the day time, CBE-SBC sector there are trains as follows
Uday dep 5:45
VB-7:25am
CBE-LTT-8:50am
ERS-SBC Intercity-12:50pm. There are weekly trains on Sat & Sun in addition to above.

For ERS-SBC VB to be successful max passengers will have to be from ERS, TCR & PGT as passengers from CBE have lot of flexibility to travel at different timings and the crowd will get split. So its important that dep from ERS is a bit late. Public transport doesn't start early....so reaching station is a challenge if early dep from ERS. I am not sure passengers will prefer to spend a lot of money in auto to reach at such an early time.
