# SWR cancels Bengaluru-Mangaluru day trains for October track work 2026-08-07T05:41:59+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The South Western Railway will cancel day trains on the Bengaluru-Mangaluru/Karwar sector for a month in October to allow for tamping work and material movement on the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya Road Ghat section. Services will run during Navaratri/Dasara holidays to avoid inconvenience. Cancelled trains include the Yeshwantpur-Karwar tri-weekly, Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction Gomateshwara tri-weekly and Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction weekly express. The Mysuru Divisional Railway Manager said the tamping work was long overdue and the line block duration was the minimum required. Meanwhile, on August 1, six trains were short terminated and partially cancelled between Hassan and Mangaluru due to a landslip near Yedakumari, caused by heavy rainfall. Restoration work is underway. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - thehindu.com Tags: Bengaluru-Mangaluru trains, Indian Railways, South Western Railway, track maintenance Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/swr-cancels-bengaluru-mangaluru-day-trains-for-october-track-work/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
