I agree with you...SF stops within 10kms but in our region already there are less trains and moreover in afternoon time zone there are two SF one is chennai mail and other one is intercity we don't have stops for both ...Smaller stations like cheruvathur , payangadi,manjeshwar has stops for mail we don't have that priviledge ...Biggest problem is after Coimbatore passenger which is at 9:10 next train at nileshwar is at 3:40 which is gap of 6:30 hours and same goes after Mangalore express at 9:25 am next train at nileshwar is 3:10 pm which is also gap of 6 hours ... since railways are not introducing passenger train or memu in the afternoon in kannur - mangalore sections .Nileshwar pople have no other option ...All the nearby stations have atleast chennai mail so we intercity train we deserve
