Rail Budget 2011 promises extension of Bangalore Mangalore Day(tri-weekly) Express/6515⇒16515 train to Karwar. Welcome news for the towns along the coastal Karnataka providing much needed connectivity to the state capital Bangalore. Hope the train will stop at major stations along the extended route and runs daily in due course.
Route of the proposed new train namely Vasco-Vailankani Weekly express is not mentioned in the budget. Better if it takes the route via Konkan Railway through Mangalore for the benefit of the towns of coastal Karnataka. Incidentally Vailankani has no rail line/station, the nearest station is Nagapattinam (about 10km) on the Nagore-Thanjavur route. Possibly 'Vailankanni'- being a well known shrine close-by is the part of the train name.

Vasco-Nagore will go via VSG - MAO - MAJN - SRR - ED - TPJ - NCR. The other alternative, but less likely route could be VSG - MAO - LD - UBL - AK - YPR - KJM - SA - ED - TPJ - NCR. But the train is likely to run by the first route.
