With introduction of this train, Mandya Mysore lost link to coastal Karnataka - Udupi, Kundapura, Kollur, Bhatkal, Murudeshwara, Honnavara, Kumta, Karwar.
I suggest that day time YPR Karwar express 16515/6 can be converted into a night train and run via Mysore with the same timings of Kannur express. This can run on the days when Kannur express via Kunigal is operated. This will provide a triweekly link to Udupi Karwar stretch. Also Mysore will get a daily train to Mangalore.
Opinions please.
