Officials also confirmed that the Yeshwantpur-Mangaluru Junction-Yeshwantpur Weekly Express (Train no. 16539/ 16540), operating on Saturdays/Sundays, will also be extended to Central soon. However, extending the Mumbai CSTM-Mangaluru Junction-Mumbai CSTM Superfast Express (Train no. 12133/12134) to Central is not possible with the current timetable. The proposed Mangaluru Central-Madgaon Vande Bharat train can be introduced, but the introduction of any new trains to the additional platforms at Central is contingent upon the extension of the three aforementioned trains. The foot overbridge connecting Platform 1 with the additional platforms (PF 4 and 5) is expected to be operational this month. Doubling the track between Mangaluru Central and Mangaluru Junction is currently not feasible due to insufficient traffic.

Officials ne confirm kiya hai ki Yeshwantpur se Mangaluru Junction tak chalne wali Yeshwantpur Weekly Express (Train no. 16539/ 16540), jo ki Saturdays/Sundays ko chalti hai, use bhi jaldi hi Central tak extend kiya jaayega. Lekin Mumbai CSTM se Mangaluru Junction tak chalne wali Mumbai CSTM Superfast Express (Train no. 12133/12134) ko Central tak extend karna is waqt ke timetable ke liye possible nahi hai. Proposed Mangaluru Central se Madgaon tak chalne wali Vande Bharat train ko introduce kiya ja sakta hai, lekin Central station ke additional platforms par koi bhi new train tabhi introduce ki jaayegi jab upar diye gaye teen trains ko extend kar diya jaayega. Platform 1 ko additional platforms (PF 4 and 5) se connect karne wala foot overbridge is month mein operational ho jaayega. Mangaluru Central aur Mangaluru Junction ke beech track ko double karna is waqt possible nahi hai kyonki traffic kam hai.
