MP Raghavan had met with South West General Manager in Hubli two years ago and later discussed the issue with the General Manager in Chennai. Southern Railway also supported the proposal. However, some people had pressured against extending the train two months ago, prompting the Mangaluru MP to meet the Railway Minister. Despite this, the decision to extend the train was finally made. The MP also mentioned that efforts are underway to extend the Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat train to Kozhikode. Further, the railway is considering starting more MEMU services to Kozhikode, as only one out of 11 approved MEMU services is currently operating there.

Bengaluru ke travellers ko hone wali pareshanion ko dekhte hue yeh faisla liya gaya hai. MP Raghavan ne do saal pehle Hubli mein South West General Manager se mulakat ki thi aur baad mein Chennai mein General Manager se baat ki thi. Southern Railway ne bhi is proposal ko support kiya. Lekin, kuch logon ne do mahine pehle train ko badhane ke khilaaf pressure dala tha, jiske baad Mangaluru MP ne Railway Minister se mulakat ki thi. Is sabke baad bhi, train ko badhane ka faisla aakhirkar le liya gaya. MP ne yeh bhi bataya ki Mangaluru-Goa Vande Bharat train ko Kozhikode tak badhane ke liye koshishen chal rahi hain. Iske alawa, railway Kozhikode mein aur MEMU services start karne pe bhi soch rahi hai, kyonki abhi sirf 11 approved MEMU services mein se ek hi service chal rahi hai.
