The issue is Coastal area don't have politicians that they are strong enough & interested in railways development. They comeforward only during some inaguration. The MP's of Both Uttara (very least) & Dakshin Kanara constituencies are least concerned. Same is the issue with Udupi-Chikkamagaluru MP. That leaves small part - Byndoor (Udupi Dist) which comes Shivammoga Constituency. Recently MP(BSY Son) had inspected Byndoor Mookambika Road station & said some amount for development works were sanctioned & work to start soon.
Then...
more... who forgets, the earlier MP (BSY) had even made Rlys to run a train terminating/originating for Byndoor halt stn. The train was flop & discontinued.
Large no of trains received Political halts due Elections, Only 1 in KR (12133/34 @ Karmali, GA) & 0 in KR-KA.
