The Railway Ministry has approved a proposal from the South Western Railway to increase the frequency of tri-weekly Bengaluru-Mangaluru overnight express via Mysuru to operate six days a week.
Responding to SWR’s July 27 letter proposing to increase the frequency of Train No. 16585/586, the Ministry on August 17 said it has approved the proposal to increase the frequency to six days a week by regularising the services of Train No. 06547/548 Bengaluru-Mangaluru Express tri-weekly special.
The special train was introduced recently on demand from passengers as Bengaluru-Mangaluru NH 75 was affected by frequent landslips in Sakaleshpur taluk.
