Mangalore mail is numbered 10 Dn on the Madras - Podanur section. (MSMR) This reached Podanur at 8:18 AM in the morning and departed
from Podanur at 8:55 AM as the 12 Dn SIR mail. A portion of the train ran to Mettupalayam and departed from Podanur at 8:48AM.

The Malabar express was a faster version of the Mangalore mail introduced in 1929 ( Like how the faster P&O express was regularized as Frontier mail).
The name 'Malabar express' was lost shortly after 1951 when the Calicut- Ernakulam train was introduced. Thereafter the train was renamed as Managlore express and later as Mangalore mail again.
