The South Western Railway on Friday, issued a notification extending KSR Bengaluru-Kannur-KSR Bengaluru overnight Express via Mangaluru Central to Kozhikode.
The extension comes amid stiff opposition from coastal Karnataka commuters, who were already upset with its initial extension from Mangaluru Central to Kannur. The then Minister of State for Railways E. Ahmed had got the then Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Central overnight Express to Kannur in December 2009.
