The popular demand for a passenger-friendly timetable for the Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura Express Special, a service connecting coastal Karnataka with Kalyana Karnataka, has been turned down by Southern Railway.
Sanjeev Kishore, general manager of South Western Railway (SWR), recently wrote to G.M. Siddeshwar, Davangere MP, that Southern Railway had intimated the zone that the proposal for early arrival of Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction Service at Mangaluru (9.30 a.m.) and its delayed departure (5.30 p.m.) from Mangaluru Junction towards Vijayapura was not feasible.
Southern Railway informed SWR that both the timings are peak hours when platforms at Mangaluru Junction would be occupied by other trains. Hence, the proposed revision of timings was not feasible at this juncture, Southern Railway said. Mangaluru Junction is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Railway while Vijayapura is under SWR.
