The proposal to change train timing of 16315 bangalore -kochuveli express from 1-Jul-2012 onwards is only to help bus lobby. It's really very bad to consider the new time which is not even helpful for the general public.

The proposal is to start the service at 2.15 pm from bangalore to reach Ernakulam in the midnight which will be really painful for the travellers. Now the train is reaching early morning at Ernakulam which helps public and by increasing the frequency to daily it will help lakhs of people who have migrated to Bangalore in search of job from Kerala. The same is true for the propose train timings from kocuveli at 9.15 pm and reaching banaglore at 12. 15 pm. I have a doubt why the time is changed, its really of no use for the travllers but only helps some other people like private bus operators.

Please reconsider this decision and it will be helpful if the timing is pushed to 6 PM from Bangalore and 5 PM from Kochuveli and consider a stoppage for the train at Krishnarajapuram (KR Puram) and Bangalore Cantonment.
