The Railway Board on Wednesday approved South Western Railway’s (SWR) proposal to divert Bengaluru-Karwar/Kannur-Bengaluru night express through the shortest route, via Kunigal and Shravanabelagola, four days a week.
Sources in the Railways said there may not be any advancement in the arrival timing of the Karwar Express either at Mangaluru Central or Karwar. The train might have a delayed departure, at around 10.20 p.m. from Bengaluru. There could be some changes in the arrival timing of the train at Bengaluru, though its departure timings at Karwar and Mangaluru Central are likely to remain the same.

This proposal is really great and useful for thousands of passengers from Karwar/Udupi/Mangalore/Hassan/Kannur, who can save around 80 kilometers in running distance and saving 2 hours in rake/loco reversals at Hassan & Mysore, plus long halting time. Also, departure from Kannur shall be 6.25PM, instead of 4.30PM for saving 2 hours which is being wasted for the past 10 years. But, it will negatively affect passengers to Mysore, Mandya, Maddur, etc from Karwar, Udupi, Mangalore, Hassan, areas where there are a considerable number of passengers in these routes. As there is hardly no passenger traveling in this train from Kannur/Kasargod to Mysore/Mandya, this decision will not affect passengers from Malabar, as they are using much faster buses for these area. In order to solve this issue, a new Express Train from Mumbai to Mysore(7AM arrival at Mysore) need to be introduced via Mangalore, which will serve as...

night express train requirement to Mysore from Goa/Karwar/Udupi/Mangalore areas. This Mumbai-Mysore train will have sufficient number of passengers from Mumbai to Karwar/Mangalore and from Karwar/Managalore to Mysore, as at present almost all the trains are full in this route. If this Mumbai-Mysore train is introduced, the present Mumbai-Mangalore Jn daily express can also be extended upto Ernakulam/Trivandrum.

"The departure timings at MAQ/Karwar is likely to remain the same" that means there will not be any change in departure of 16517.
Bangalore division opposed the move also.

The High Court of Karnataka on Friday directed the Railway Board to consider a representation and pass orders in four months on a plea seeking an exclusive Bengaluru–Karwar night train through the recently commissioned Kunigal line.
A Division Bench comprising acting Chief Justice H.G. Ramesh and Justice P.S. Dinesh Kumar also asked the petitioner, Sanjay Revankar, a resident of Kadwad village in Karwar taluk, to submit his representation to the board.

In fact I would wish to make it a daily via the shorter route and have slip coaches to MYS. And the kannur slip should be cancelled on a whole.
To Serve pass in Kannur - MAJN section, YPR - Kannur 16527/8 should be extended upto MAJN.
