Yo, South Canara MPs need to stand up and demand that Mangala and Netravati trains run through MAQ. Let me break it down for you: Mangala: From ERS side, it starts from CLT and goes all the way to Mangalore. We can make it speed up and reach MAQ by 9:10 PM. After reversing the locomotive, it can leave MAQ by 9:30 PM. From NZM side, it reaches Udupi by 8:20 PM but takes a whopping 2 hours and 10 minutes to reach MAJN (that's just 62 kms!). We can take over the train between 9:45 PM to 10:00 PM at MAQ and send it on its way to ERS by 10:30 PM. Having Mangala via MAQ would give us a solid daily train to Delhi and also a convenient ONT between MAQ and ERS. Netravati: From ERS side, it departs ERS at 1:50 PM (25 minutes after Mangala), but doesn't reach MAJN until 10:45 PM (85 minutes after Mangala). It's just chilling between Kasaragod and Mangalore. We can get it to MAQ by 10:15 PM and have it leave by 10:45 PM. From LTT side, we can make it reach MAQ by 4:10 AM and depart by 4:30 AM. This would provide an extra train between Mangalore and Mumbai with convenient timings. Don't forget, these two trains used to start from MAQ before the Konkan Railway came into play. So, have some mercy and allow them to run through MAQ again.

South Canara MPs kuch bhi karke Mangala aur Netravati ko MAQ se chalne ke liye dabav dalna chahiye. Tune mera logic suna:
Mangala ki baat karte hain:
ERS taraf se, yeh parasuram ko CLT se lekar Mangalore tak le aata hai. Use overtaking karke MAQ tak 2110 baje ponchaya ja sakta hai. Loco reversal ke baad, yeh MAQ ko 2130 baje chhod sakta hai.
NZM taraf se, yeh Udupi tak 2020 baje pahuchta hai lekin MAJN tak 2230 baje pahuchta hai (62 kms lekin 2 hours 10 minutes lagte hain). SR usko MAQ par 2145 se 2200 baje tak le sakti hai aur phir yeh 2230 baje ERS ko jaane ke liye chhod sakta hai.
Mangala MAQ ke through Delhi ke liye ek acchi rozgaar train provide karegi. Aur MAQ aur ERS ke beech convenient ONT bhi hoga.

Ab Netravati ki baat hain:
ERS taraf se, yeh Mangala ke 25 minutes baad, 1350 baje ERS chhodkar, MAJN 2245 baje pahuchta hai (Mangala se 85 minute late). Bas Kasaragod aur Mangalore ke beech time waste kar raha hai. Yeh MAQ tak 2215 baje pahuch sakta hai aur 2245 baje ise chhod sakta hai.
LTT taraf se, isko 0410 baje MAQ pahuchaya ja sakta hai aur phir ise 0430 baje chod sakte hain.
Isse Mangalore aur Mumbai ke beech ek aur train mil jayegi. Convenient timings ke saath.

Yaad rakh, ye dono toh pehle MAQ se hi nikalte the Konkan ke pehle. Kam se kam thoda daya kar aur unko MAQ ke through chalne de.
