Its really a shocking news that the train from Bangalore to Mangalore will stand canceled from First of June 2008 as per the decision taken by the Railway board saying that it is non profitable.
Does anyone know that since the beginning of the said 6517 & 6518 trains, there is a minimum of 300 waiting lists of passengers. Then how can you say that it is not a profitable route. In order to make the people tired of the journey the trains reach the destination 2 to 3 hours after time. With this they want to make the people commuting on the trains be less and prove the fact that the route is non profitable. But please dont feel that the people of Karnatka are silent spectators. They will be aggressive once their morale is hurt. Dont try to put hand in lions mouth and try to count its teeth.

Another pair of train which was planned to run via hassan is still in cold storage and this is nothing but mockery of general public. This is nothing against extension of the train but the unjustice being meeted out to Mangalore.

Shridhar,
I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but what is the source of this information? Is this news out there in some media? I'm interested in reading the reports.

It is shocking to hear that railways have extended the train to kannur. The no. of seats will be reduced from 400 to just 60. There is no tatkal as mangalore is no longer the final destination. The train will no touch mangalore central station. One has to alight at Managlore junction which is far from city. I wonder to what extent railways could go. This is robbery.
