Departures from Kottayam would be at 4 am, reaching Chennai by 1 pm.

Kottayam se 4 am par chalta hua, yeh train 1 pm par Chennai pahuchegi.

The MYS and CBE special are being operated with the help of spare rake, but, The Kottayam Special was proposed with the newly allotted rake. I'm not sure, if it's an another spare rake (or) meant for MDU-SBC/SMVT VB.
