Good Suggestion but From SMET to TLGP passengers will not get benefited from this because its reach Sagara around 12 at midnight. Instead of This If we travel through BUS from SMET ( Infront of station Bus available to Sagara, Anandapura) we reach Sagara around 10.00 pm. Better we should not wait for 56276. Regularly i am travelling but from AUG 15 i stopped travelling due to timings problem.

Re# 3722918-2              
Agree. But This can be alternate considering to Road transport & Fares. But 56276 can be speeded after SMET considering there is only Single Crossing - 16228.
I hope you are localite of this Harnahalli. Does 56275/6 still stop at Harnahalli. It is not mentioned in TT here ?

Eureka Forbes has opened a shop in Shivamogga Main Railway Station for supply of filtered water. The shop is on the left side after entrance and is in front of Ladies Waiting Room. The person in charge there told me that the shop will open at 7.30 AM and close at 11.30 PM. They charge Rs.12/- for a 2 litre bottle.
