1. As per this news article click here the meter gauge train between SMET and TLGP was called Malnad Express.
2. But only this railbus used to run, so is this the one?
3. DRM says, that if activists send a letter she will forward it to the concerned officials.

Malnad express was a train from the 80's and early 90's. The Bangalore-Talguppa express (6583/84) was known as Malnad express in the MG days.
Once the Banglaore-Hubli route was converted to BG, a new Bangalore-Shimoga BG passenger (283A/284A) was introduced on a similar timetable as the Malnad express. This passenger used to run combined with the Bangalore-Hubli/Hospet passenger between Bangalore and Birur. In July 2000, the Shimoga portion of this passenger was delinked from the main passenger and made a separate train and now runs as the 16227/28 express.

connected to the BG Bangalore-Shimoga passenger and operated between Shimoga Town and Talguppa for many years before gauge conversion.
