Former MP seeks daily express train between Mysuru and Mumbai

The Hindu  

Former Mysuru MP Prathap Simha has urged the Ministry of Railways to introduce a new daily express train from Mysuru to Mumbai CSTM either via Bengaluru or Arsikere, thus enabling the fulfilment of a long-pending demand of the people of this region for daily direct train connectivity from Mysuru to Mumbai. With Mysuru emerging as one of the major start-up hubs in the country and the demand for daily train connectivity between Mysuru, the cultural capital of Karnataka, and Mumbai – the financial capital of India, Mr. Simha has sought better rail connectivity between Mysuru and Mumbai, in his memorandum to Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti V. Somanna, who is the MP from Tumakuru. Mr. Simha said the prospects of transporting coffee and spices from Kodagu and finished products like truck tires, instant foods, agarbattis, handicrafts, motorcycles, industrial gears, and others by rail would be bright if fast and seamless train services between Mysuru and Mumbai were realised. Mr. Simha said he had requested the Ministry of Railways to explore the possibility of extending Train Numbers 11301/02 CST Mumbai-KSR Bengaluru city to run to and from Mysuru.
