On the eve of Bengaluru-Karwar-Bengaluru overnight express celebrating its anniversary, the South Western Railway (SWR) has decided to permanently augment the train with one composite First AC and 2-Tier AC coach on a permanent basis.
A release from Konkan Railway here said one second sitting coach would permanently be taken off the rake in the meanwhile. Thus, Train No. 06585/06586 Bengaluru-Karwar-Bengaluru Express Special would run with a total of 16 coaches from February 25 ex-Bengaluru and February 26 ex-Karwar.
The Yeshwantpur-Karwar overnight Express via Padil bypass was flagged off by Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on March 7 at Bengaluru. Subsequently, its terminal in Bengaluru was shifted to KSR Bengaluru City.
