Mandovi Express - the best 5-Star Restaurant in the world

This Hyderabad-Mangalore train is a BIG JOKE by Southern Railway. It is not meant for Mangalore bound passengers. Such a long route.. it is ALMOST touching Chennai on the East coast, then going all the way down to enter middle of Kerala, then rising towards Mangalore on the West coast. This route benefits only the Tamil and Kerala population. Better to have Kerala as final destination for this train than Mangalore. Is Mangalore only for washing and cleaning this train so that people of other states can use? The best route will be Hyderabad to Goa and then Mangalore. Right now there are just 2 sleeper coaches from Hyd to Goa, that too only 4 times a week (also one AC coach, but I am talking of middle class passengers). To get reservation on these coaches is very difficult. Railways can kill two birds with one stone if route is Hyd-Goa-Mangalore....

The distance will be much much shorter and better. Who wants to travel all the way to Chennai and Kerala when they can go to Mangalore via Bangalore or Goa (short routes). Railways should change the routing immediately. Else name the train SabariExpress2 as it is mostly Hyd to Kerala. Please dont use Mangalore name for nothing, people of that region are not fools. Railways, please change routing to Hyd-Goa-Mangalore or Hyd-Bangalore-Mangalore. Thank God, railways did not put the route as Hyd-Delhi-Kolkatta-Mangalore !!!!! I was waiting for this train from years, but I am terribly disappointed with the route... simply waste of precious time of people.
