Setback for Karnataka passengers as Bengaluru-Kannur overnight express gets extended to Kozhikode

The Karnataka Coast passengers are facing a setback as the KSR Bengaluru-Kannur train (No. 16511/16512) has been extended to Kozhikode. This extension is causing concern for coastal residents as it will reduce berth and seat availability on the train. The railway ministry's order came as a surprise, particularly since Minister Ashwini...

Vaishnaw had reportedly assured Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel that the train would not be extended. The train initially ran between Yeshwantpur and Mangaluru Central before being extended to Kannur in 2009. The extension to Kozhikode will occur under the existing timetable, with Train No. 16511 reaching Kozhikode at 12:40 PM and Train No. 16512 departing at 3:30 PM. Passengers have voiced their concerns on social media, highlighting that Kozhikode is already connected to Bengaluru through other trains and the extension will further reduce the limited seat availability for Karnataka Coast residents. They fear that unreserved coaches will fill up before the train reaches Mangaluru, leading to difficulties for coastal passengers.

Karnataka Coast ke passengers ke liye ek badha news hai, KSR Bengaluru-Kannur train (No. 16511/16512) ko Kozhikode tak extend kar diya gaya hai. Is extension se coastal logon ke liye train mein berth aur seat availability kam ho jaayegi, yeh unke liye ek problem hai. Railway ministry ka order ek surprise...

tha, khass karke is baat ko dekhte hue ki Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ne reportedly Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel ko assurance di thi ki train ko Kozhikode tak extend nahi kiya jaayega. Train pehle Yeshwantpur aur Mangaluru Central ke beech chalti thi, phir 2009 mein isko Kannur tak extend kiya gaya tha. Kozhikode tak extension existing timetable ke under hoga, Train No. 16511 Kozhikode pe 12:40 PM pe pahunchega aur Train No. 16512 3:30 PM pe wahan se chalega. Passengers ne social media pe apni chinta express ki hai, unhone bataaya hai ki Kozhikode pehle se hi Bengaluru se other trains se connected hai aur is extension se Karnataka Coast ke residents ke liye already kam seat availability aur bhi kam ho jaayegi. Unhe dar hai ki unreserved coaches Mangaluru pahunchne se pehle hi bhar jaayenge, jisse coastal passengers ko pareshani ho sakti hai.

This train should skip maq, as it is waste of time. Stop at MAJN is enough.

How many times you have travelled from/ to MAJN? You seem to claim that MAJN is a fantastic station.
Nothing prevents SR PGT to introduce a new train from anywhere in Kerala to Bangalore via Hassan. But spoiling the only night train connecting Mangalore with it's state capital is not acceptable.

Majn is at padil near arterial manglore banglore highway and is well connected. For people from bantwal puttur region it is more accessible than maq.

All trains towards Hassan stop at Bantwal and Puttur. So why public from those places will travel to MAJN to board trains?
Something wrong with your analysis. How many times you have travelled from/ to MAJN?

I was refering in general. All I was talking that majn is at great location for a satellite station, unlike KCVL for TVC which is less accessible. MAJN certainly needs more development.

I worked there till 2 years back.

3:30 PM and reaches Bengaluru at 6:35 AM. The decision to extend the train was made after considering the difficulties faced by Bengaluru travelers. MP Raghavan had met with South West General Manager in Hubli two years ago and later discussed the issue with the General Manager in Chennai. Southern Railway also supported the proposal. However, some people had pressured against extending the train two months ago, prompting the Mangaluru MP to meet the Railway Minister. Despite this, the decision to extend the train was finally made. The MP also mentioned that efforts are underway to extend the Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat train to Kozhikode. Further, the railway is considering starting more MEMU services to Kozhikode, as only one out of 11 approved MEMU services is currently operating there.

MP M.K. Raghavan ne bataya hai ki Bengaluru-Kannur Express train ko Kozhikode tak badha diya gaya hai. Unhone kaha ki yeh bahut samay se chahi aa rahi baat thi. Train Bengaluru se raat ke 9:35 PM pe chalta hai aur agli din dopahar 12:40 PM pe Kozhikode pahunchta hai. Yeh train...

subah 10:55 AM pe Kannur pahunchta hai. Kozhikode se train dopahar 3:30 PM pe chalta hai aur subah 6:35 AM pe Bengaluru pahunchta hai. Bengaluru ke travellers ko hone wali pareshanion ko dekhte hue yeh faisla liya gaya hai. MP Raghavan ne do saal pehle Hubli mein South West General Manager se mulakat ki thi aur baad mein Chennai mein General Manager se baat ki thi. Southern Railway ne bhi is proposal ko support kiya. Lekin, kuch logon ne do mahine pehle train ko badhane ke khilaaf pressure dala tha, jiske baad Mangaluru MP ne Railway Minister se mulakat ki thi. Is sabke baad bhi, train ko badhane ka faisla aakhirkar le liya gaya. MP ne yeh bhi bataya ki Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat train ko Kozhikode tak badhane ke liye koshishen chal rahi hain. Iske alawa, railway Kozhikode mein aur MEMU services start karne pe bhi soch rahi hai, kyonki abhi sirf 11 approved MEMU services mein se ek hi service chal rahi hai.
