One out of the box ideas:
1. Kochuveli to Mysore express can run further via MAJN to Kozhikode. May be as same train or with another number. This will provide day time train link from Mysore to Mangalore, Kasaragod, Kannur and provide first ever link between Mysore and Kozhikode.
2. Kozhikode to Bangalore via MAJN, Hassan is 579 kms which is same as via PGT, Salem 571 kms. Southern railway can run a ONT from Kozhikode to Bangalore via MAJN - starting from CLT by around 6 PM, MAJN at 10...
more... PM, SBC at 7 AM. Return can be SBC at 7 PM, MAJN at 4 AM, CLT at 8 AM.
