Hundreds of train passengers were stranded for nearly a couple of hours in Shivamogga and Bhadravathi early on Thursday, April 18, 2024 as two trains were stopped following a minor accident near the railway underpass at Bhadravathi.
A truck passing through the railway underpass hit the safety guard and ran away, causing damage to the tracks around 4.15 a.m. As a result, the Janshatabdi Express (12090) and Mysuru–Talaguppa Express (16227) trains were delayed.
The staff restored the track to ensure the smooth movement of the trains. The Janshatabdi Express, which was scheduled to leave Shivamogga station by 5.15 a.m., started at 6.48 a.m., instead.
