The incident took place in Kerala’s Alappuzha district where the loco pilot of the Shoranur-bound Venad Express missed a halt at a small railway station called Cheriyanad. Upon realising that he had skipped the stop, the loco pilot reversed the train for 700 meters to pick up the passengers waiting at the station.
The incident unfolded at around 7.45 am at the Cheriyanad station, a small halt located between the Mavelikkara and Chengannur stations.As per railway officials, there were no complaints from passengers as none of them faced any inconvenience. The train reached its destination on time.
The officials said that there was no signal or station master at the Cheriyanad station, which might have led to a misjudgement on the part of the loco pilot. An explanation will be sought from the loco pilots, the officials said.
