Udupi, March 01, 2023: In a move aimed at providing greater convenience to passengers, it has been decided to provide experimental stoppages to two popular express trains at Kundapura and Barkur stations. This will come into effect from March 4th, 2023 (Saturday).
The two trains in question are the Netravati Express (Train No. 16345 / 16346) which runs between Lokmanya Tilak (T) and Thiruvananthapuram Central, and the Matsyagandha Express (Train No. 12619 / 12620) which runs between Lokmanya Tilak (T) and Mangaluru Central.
The “Netravati” Express will now make a stop at Kundapura station, while the “Matsyagandha” Express will halt at Barkur station. These stoppages are part of a six-month experimental phase aimed at assessing passenger demand and overall feasibility of the stops.
