Those travelling between the coast and State capital Bengaluru have a reason to cheer. South Western Railway (SWR) has decided to advance the arrival timing of Karwar-Bengaluru train by 45 minutes and Kannur-Bengaluru train by 20 minutes.
The reduction in travel time was made possible by the recent track renewal between Hassan and Shravanabelagola, as a consequence of which the speed of trains on the Hassan-Bengaluru section has gone up.
Train No. 16512 Kannur-Bengaluru overnight express via Mangaluru Central reaches Bengaluru at 6.50 am every day. From June 1, the train would reach Bengaluru at 6.30 am. En route, it will depart Hassan at 2.55 am, Channarayapatna at 3.21 am, Shravanabelagola at 3.31 am, Balagangadharanagar at 3.58 am, Kunigal at 4.29 am and Yeshwantpur at 6.04 am.
