Sir,

The daily train from Bengaluru to Murudeshwar via Mysuru has been frequently reaching Mysuru at an inconvenient time (12.30 am). Additionally, it arrives in Mangaluru late, around 10 am.

These delays are causing significant difficulties for all passengers, particularly regular commuters who cannot reach their offices on time. The overnight journey has become exceedingly tedious due to these odd timings. Furthermore, the same train travelling from Murudeshwar to Mysuru via Mangaluru arrives in Mysuru at an inconvenient hour (3 am). Commuting within Mysuru city at such an odd hour to reach home is very risky in the present times.

Additionally, the train compartments are infested with rats and cockroaches, which destroy luggage containing edible items.

I hope that the Railway authorities concerned will address these issues promptly, making the journey more comfortable by adjusting the timings and improving the hygiene conditions on the train.
