sreekanthtv 1 blog postsTrain 16511/12 takes 14 hrs. 45 min to travel 501 KM. The travelling time after Bantwal station is a time killer. The train reaches Managlore Jn. 5.10 AM and waits half an hour there, even though there is platform availability in Mangalore Central as two trains towards Kannur departs Central within 5.15 AM. And two train towards Puttur and Madgaon leaves by 5.30 AM which should not be a issue to be managed. Then this train halts 1.00 hrs in Mangalore Central from 5.55 AM to 6.55 AM. There are no trains between 5.10 AM and 6.45 AM towards Kannur and train 16511 has the opportunity to service in between this slot. Excuse from SW railway may be

It is not SWR which controls MAQ. It is SR. If you see the timings or slots alloted to SWR trains in Mangalore central as well as junction, it is pathetic. Triweekly YPR MAQ is made to reach MAJN at 0245 and at MAQ at 0400. Is this the way to handle a train connecting to capital of its state?
If Kannur Bangalore trains are taken over by SR, situation will dramatically improve. But they don't seem to be interested. MAQ is meant for maintaining trains to Trivandrum and Chennai only, not even for Malabar area.
