The service connects northern Karnataka with the coastal areas of the State
The Railway Board has approved restoration of Vijayapura-Mangaluru Junction-Vijayapura Daily Express Special, that connects the northern parts of Karnataka with coastal areas, from December 1 ex-Vijayapura and December 2 ex-Mangaluru Junction.
Introduced in November 2019 in response to popular demand, the services were cancelled following the outbreak of COVID-19. Despite reintroduction of several other cancelled trains in a phased manner in the course of a year, this particular train was not reintroduced causing concerns among patrons and people’s representatives.
