Similar way, Ernad and it's RSA CBE MAQ should get extended towards Kundapura/ Murudeshwar.
Will be beneficial for Keralites travelling to Kollur Mookambika temple.

A valid proposal, however one big constraint in having trains extended to these smaller stations would mean railways having to deploy extra staff in these stations just for the purpose of cleaning and maintenance only for 1 train. Similarly the electrical wing will keep highlighting loco utilisation as another point. New set of loco pilots will have to man the train in return direction so that will be Xtra cost. They will have to travel from bigger stations like MAQ to these stns and will have to be provided with some allowance. I do recollect one rail staff mentioning this that cost, utilisation of staff are all being looked at very closely by railways whenever such extensions are proposed. These are valid suggestions though

Instead of keeping the trains on hold at odd stations, atleast on these days Netravathi and Mangala can go to MAQ and wait there for 30 to 45 minutes.
