During the festive periods of Ganesha Chaturthi, Dasara, and Deepavali, a notable surge of travelers heads to their hometowns to partake in these significant celebrations with their families. The Tr No. 16511/12 KSR Bengaluru-Kannur Express and Tr No. 16585/86 SMVT Bengaluru-Mangaluru Central Express serve as pivotal connectors for diverse regions, facilitating the journeys of these passengers. Given the substantial demand during these festive times, South Western Railway and Southern Railway should collaboratively consider temporarily adding stoppages at Kaniuru, Yedamangala, and Kodimbala railway stations for the specified trains. Such a measure would greatly benefit passengers aiming to reunite with loved ones for the festivities, saving both time and effort. Additionally, these extra stops would contribute to overall passenger convenience and satisfaction.

B1 3AC Coatch with board of Train Number: 16586 MAQ TO SMVT BENGALURU Express at MAQ PF:3

I do not understand the time table for this train. I presume that there will be a large number of passengers for Mysore, Mandya etc as this is the only direct train and there are atleast 5 more trains between MAQ and SBC (16512 etc). So why schedule it to reach mysore at 3:30 AM. Surely the departure from MAQ can be delayed by a few hours so that people destined for the MYS-SBC section can reach their destination at a more comfortable time. Just my 2 cents.
