As of now, only Mysore-Shimoga intercity express is going till talaguppa and it leaves Shimoga at 11:50am and reaches talaguppa by 2:15pm. In return, leaves talaguppa at 2:30pm and reaches Shimoga by 4:45pm. Comparatively travel time is ok as buses also take 2 hrs or more to reach Talaguppa from Shimoga. At present, this train wont serve as connecting train to Bangalore bound trains from Shimoga.
