Train trip in an air-conditioned 2nd class: Trivandrum to Cochin. A single ticket was about US$10.00.
Each seat converts into a bunk. One side has four bunks and the other two individual bunks. On the side there are metal hoops that serve as a ladder to access the upper bunks.
Curtains provide privacy to the central passage way.
Note that train doors are not secured. Be safe.
There are toilets at each end of the carriage with a blend of western and Indian options. This train had a pantry carriage for food and there was a steady stream of vending services for coffee (about 15 cents) and meals at about US$1.30. The meals are enough for two and are local fare like chicken biriyani, samosas, vadas etc.
Great scenery along the way and very smooth ride.
For train travel, important to be aware of the many somewhat confusing class codes.
There are two stations in Cochin which is easy to confuse.
