Travelling Between Bangalore & Mangalore Via Train Will Now Get Exciting: Here is a Great News
The South Western Railway will soon introduce Vistadome coaches on the tri-weekly day trains and one weekly train may savour between Bangalore and Mangalore. This will enable those travelling via these trains to enjoy the natural beauty of the Western Ghats. The South Western Railway has decided to add two each Vistadome coaches to these trains and detach one each general second class coach from them. Earlier the passengers used to witness the beauty of the ghats either through the windows or by standing at the doors of coaches when trains passed through the ghat section between Sakleshpur and Subrahmanya Road stations. Vistadome coaches with their transparent ceiling, wide window panes and 180-degree rotatable recliner seats, however, will offer greater outside view for passengers. Train No 06211/06212 Yeshwantpur-Karwar-Yeshwantpur tri-weekly express special will get the Vistadome coaches from July 7 from Yeshwantpur and from July 8 from Mangalore Junction. The service between Mangalore Junction and Karwar remains temporarily cancelled. Train No 06575/06576 Yeshwantpur- Mangalore Junction-Yeshwantpur tri-weekly special (Gomateshwara Express) will get these coaches from July 8, from Yeshwantpur and from July 9, from Mangalore Junction. The weekly special, Train No 06539/06540 Yeshwantpur- Mangalore Junction-Yeshwantpur, will get these coaches from July 10 from Yeshwantpur and July 11 from Mangalore Junction. Booking starts on July 3 and the fares will be the same as Executive Class of the Shatabdi service. The fare between Yeshwantpur and Mangalore will come to be nearly ₹1,500.
