Mangalore, 12 June 2010: The Mangalore-Lokamanya Tilak Terminus (Mumbai, train no. 2620) will leave here at 12.50 p.m. instead of 2.40 p.m. from June 15 as the monsoon train timings come into effect from that day.

Trains on certain sections run below their normal speed during monsoon, between June 15 and October 31, as a safety measure.

A Southern Railway press release said Okha-Ernakulam bi-weekly express (train no. 6337/6338) will be partially withdrawn between Hapa-Okha-Hapa during monsoon while Ernakulam-Nizamuddin Mangala Express (no. 2617) will leave the originating station at 10.45 a.m. instead of 1.05 p.m. The departure timings of this train at some key-stations are as follows: Shoranur (1.05 p.m.), Calicut (3.05 p.m.), Kannur 4.55 p.m., and Mangalore junction 7.45 p.m.

The Mangalore-Verna Passenger (train no. KR2), scheduled to leave here at 06.25 a.m. will leave five minutes early during monsoon.

The following trains will leave Mangalore Junction five minutes late (at 5.10 a.m. instead of 5.05 a.m.): Kochuveli-Bikaner weekly Express (train no. 6312), Nagercoil-Gandhidham weekly Express (6336), Ernankulam-Okha Bi-weekly Express (6338), and Ernakulam-Ajmer Marusagar weekly Express (2977).

According to a Konkan Railway press release, there may be slight variation in these timings due to introduction of All India Time Table from July 1.
