Everyone knows if a train is running late, ONLY RailFans know WHY it is late

I fully agree with you that a morning train from YPR/SBC to Hassan/Sakleshpur or Mangaluru is the need of the hour. Also, the night train to Karwar should run on this route as it will save almost two hours and the journey time between Bengaluru and Mangaluru will reduce accordingly. Otherwise, it is a waste of huge money invested on this line.
