Mysuru: After commissioning of Bengaluru-Hassan New Railway Line, there was a persistent demand from the public to run combined train No. 16517/16518, KSR Bengaluru-Kannur- KSR Bengaluru and Train No. 16523/16524, KSR Bengaluru-Karwar - KSR Bengaluru train via the new line as it is the shorter route to reach Mangaluru compared to that via Mysuru.
To fulfil their demand and also keeping in mind the need of passengers travelling to Mangaluru from Mysuru, the Railways have decided to divert KSR Bengaluru- Kannur /Karwar- KSR Bengaluru train to run via Shravanabelagola route for four days in a week duly changing Train Numbers,Days of services and timings. For the remaining three days the train will run via Mysuru without any change in existing timings.
