DanielSebastian~ 4399 blog postsI've seen that the train boards mostly have Mangaluru in the name but the train announcements all throughout kerala refer to it as Mangalapuram. Can it be a local name for the city? It isn't official but many people do refer to it as Mangalapuram. What is the origin of this name?

The name Mangalore or Mangalapuram comes from the Mangala Devi temple and shrine.
As the other observers mentioned, only stations in PGT division announce Mangalapuram in all languages, while in TVC division, they use Mangalapuram for only Malayalam and switch to Mangalore for the rest of the announcements.
