The re-routing of Karwar overnight train will be contentious too. MYS associations won't allow it.

But people now have some sort of notion that lot of trains will be started in the route. Many today came in that NMGA passenegr to see NMGA, all being curious and happy that new trains are going to start. Lot of hype in Kannada papers and by politicians over the new line (banner display), understandable since very little to show before elections.

The pressure will mount though, coastal people are already asking that Kudla be started from Mangaluru in morning rather after 10. More demands to start trains at night, then SWR will have no excuses to make layman understand. All these days cooking reasons of circuitous route of ASK and MYS. But common man and by extension politicians won't understand the constraints of ghat.
Will be interesting to see how politics of blame game plays out. The achievement mantle over this new line is now cornered by one party, but by introducing trains other party will try to negate it.
