Bengaluru-Mumbai Vande Bharat sleeper likely to run via Kalaburagi

The Railways decision to bring the Mangaluru region under SWR deserves to be viewed on administrative and operational grounds not through political pressure.
Mangaluru’s railway network should be planned around Mangaluru, coastal Karnataka and the region’s own economic needs
Such a shameless demand by Keralam politicians!!!
These many years took advantage of Mangalore and gave nothing to Karnataka. Now they are going for next level.
Cheap politics from Keralam politicians
So sad...

ಕೇರಳದ ಪಾಲಕ್ಕಾಡ್ ವಿಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಜಾಲವನ್ನು ನೈಋತ್ಯ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಮೈಸೂರು ವಲಯಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರ್ಪಡೆ ಮಾಡಿರುವಂತಹದ್ದು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ನಿರ್ಧಾರ. ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಜನತೆಯ ವಿಶೇಷವಾಗಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರು ಭಾಗದ ಜನತೆಯ 23 ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಈಡೇರಿಸಲು ಸಹಕರಿಸಿದ ಸನ್ಮಾನ್ಯ ಪ್ರಧಾನಿ ಶ್ರೀ ನರೇಂದ್ರ ಮೋದಿಜೀ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಸಚಿವರಾದ ಶ್ರೀ ಅಶ್ವಿನಿ ವೈಷ್ಣವ್ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೃತ್ಪೂರ್ವಕ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
The integration of the Mangaluru railway network, previously under Kerala’s Palakkad Division, into the Mysuru Division of South Western Railway is a truly historic decision.
This fulfils the long-standing 23-year demand of the people of Karnataka, particularly the people of Mangaluru and coastal Karnataka.
Heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji and Hon’ble Union Minister for Railways Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji for their support and commitment in making this landmark decision a reality.
Ministry of Railways has taken a very good decision of merging Mangalore area with SWR
In coming days Mangalore will be well connected with other parts of Karnataka
Don't entertain Kerala MPs request. They just want Mangalore for revenue.

India’s rail network is transforming rapidly. With high-speed corridors and trains like Vande Bharat, even a Bengaluru–Mumbai sleeper journey could drop from 24 hours to 16 hours saving nearly a full day.
Yet, the Mangalore–Goa–Mumbai line still crawls at 45 km/h.
Why?
Because development here has stalled under Konkan Railway Corporation Ltd @KonkanRailway where profit seems to outweigh national importance.
This isn’t just a railway line it serves education hubs, engineering sectors, pilgrimage routes, tourism, defence, and major ports along India’s west coast.
While Indian Railways innovates nationwide, the west coast line remains a glaring gap.
We hold @AshwiniVaishnaw and @narendramodi accountable because if anyone has the capacity to fix this, it is them.

Why so many delays in @drmsbc division for ROB/RUB construction
@VSOMANNA_BJP is not efficient in getting things done even for Tumkur
Same with Devangonti ROB almost a decade old project still WIP (Fight bw state and railways)

Local MPs are not so serious

This needs to be extended to Talaguppa.
We have already requested both MPs hoping for some progress.
An early morning train from Bengaluru to Talaguppa would be an unimaginable success.
Monsoon alone can recover the cost twice over!

Kindly request you to extend 22231/32 SMVB-KLBG Vande Bharat Express to SBC and reduce the travel time. This will help 1000s of passengers on a regular basis.
SMVB is not so convenient for Intra state trains

What's the logic in justifying the delay is common??
No train should be delayed irrespective of long distance or shorter one
When the TT is prepared all aspects will be thoroughly checked and finalised.
Carefully observe !
Date: 4th April 2026
Train: 16511 Bangalore–Mangalore Express
Arrived at Subramanya at 5:09 AM — just 18 minutes late. This is a very normal delay for a long-distance train.
Importantly, today the Panchaganga Express crossing also happened at Subramanya (SBHR) itself.
So the question is — how and why is Panchaganga Express being blamed for delays of 16511?
Also 15 minutes delay for over night train is something all worried for ?
The facts clearly don’t support that narrative.
Kerala centric Mangalore lobbies whole agenda is disturbing coastal lifeline Panchaganga express .

Bengaluru: CMRS inspection of Bengaluru Cantonment-Byappanahalli quadrupling section has been postponed.
Reportedly, during an OHE trial on March 27, an engine run from Baiyappanahalli Outer faced an issue when the pantograph got entangled with an OHE post extension rod, detaching from the engine & disrupting about 500m of the new line. The incident has raised concerns over OHE quality. SWR has remained tight-lipped.
SWR officials said CMRS may now inspect the section on March 30 @SWRRLY @drmsbc @DrmBengaluru

Mangalore is losing from all perspectives (Railway)
Please look into this.
Extension of 16511/12 will gradually reduce seat quota for Mangalore & Puttur people
Better try to short terminate this train at Mangalore and run as a separate train till Kozhikode
@CaptBrijesh
Our politicians are sleeping ??
@CaptBrijesh @VSOMANNA_BJP
By extension of this train to Calicut further reduce the seat quota for Mangalore-Subramanya section
Big disappointment for Mangalore people
