With the SMVB diversion, would be a good idea to get this extended to Tiruchendur and also do away with the Maniyachi Tiruchendur passenger (a curtailed version of the former Tuticorin-Tirunelveli-Tiruchendur passenger).

This Chalukya express was meant as a dedicated train for Mumbai Bangalore passengers. Extension of 3 days to Tirunelveli and 3 days to Pondicherry itself was a foolish decision, taken to appease Karnataka private bus operators. Just see the pathetic timings and of this train in SR/ SWR Stretch.
To cater to Thiruchendur, Tenkasi and Tuticorin, SR should introduce a train. Not depending on CR or spoiling an already spoiled train.
In my view, SR's NCJ CSMT should run daily via MDU SA KJM DMM GTL SUR

PUNE.
Triweeklies should start from TN and TCN covering North TN route MDU TPJ VM KPD RU GTL SUR PUNE.
If SR is willing, they can run a bi weekly via SA UBL route.

This train was meant for Karnataka -- North west, central areas apart from Bangalore.
Why can't you demand SR run a train from Tiruchendur to Mumbai via any route? Why insistence on Chalukya?
Anyway, Chalukya route is not the shortest or fastest or cheapest route for south TN to Mumbai.

Bangalore Mumbai had 3 dedicated trains and a passing train.
Kurla Bangalore was extended to become LTT CBE. Then Chalukya was extended. Udyan was handed over to CR and made as a fast passenger.
Apart from this, daily Train of SR Cochin/ Mangalore to LTT was running via KJM pre Konkan era. Now vanished.

week NCJ CSMT (SR train) was running via KJM GTL route. After covid, now it is going via KPD Madanapalli completely avoiding SWR area. Compensation to Jayanti for KPD. Loss to Bangalore. See it's speed in down direction now after KPD till NCJ - very slow.

In my opinion, railways should restore all 3 trains back as Mumbai Bangalore trains operated by SWR. Southern Railway can run their trains from TN towns.

Thanks for understanding my points.
SR is not running any trains from TPJ MDU division towns to SWR and SCR/ ECOR towns. From TN, TCN, TEN, TSI, MDU, RMM, TPJ, TJ, KIK, MV, TNM to SMET, DVG, UBL, BGM, BAY, BJP, HAS (all SWR towns), BZA, TPTY, HYB, CCT, KRNT, ATP, (all SCR towns), VSKP, VZM (ECOR).
Whatever trains connecting above mentioned towns are by SWR, SCR or some other divisions' long distance trains which were earlier terminating at MAS or SBC.
I

am not a fan of SWR even. Both SR and SWR depend on a triweekly CR train to connect PDY and SBC. SR depends on a Mumbai train for connecting MS SA. See the zigzag routes of trains between Madurai and Hyderabad. Not even a proper single train in TPJ KPD route via VM.
Pressure should be on SR and SWR to run their trains between TN and KA towns, without depending on other zone trains.

My suggestion:
Make Basava slot as MYS LTT via SBC GTL KLBG SUR.
Make Hampi Express as a MYS BJP via SBC GTL BAY GDG.
Suggested TT:
MYS LTT:
MYS
...
more...
DEP 1325 SBC 1600 GTL 2200 SUR 0530 PUNE 0930 LTT 1245.
LTT DEP 1430 SUR 2130 KLBG 2330 SBC 0900 MYS 1200.
MYS BJP HAMPI EXP:
MYS DEP 1850 GDG 0830 BJP 1145.
BJP DEP 1545 GDG 1930 SBC 0550 MYS 0845.

If you see, for the proposed MYS LTT train, there is very minimal change in SBC SUR and SUR SBC sectors. But a good faster train is introduced in Bangalore Mumbai sector.
For Hampi, there is no change in MYS GDG and GDG MYS sectors. But BJP gets a daily fast train to Bangalore. Apart from this, Ballari and Bijapur get their first ever daily connection.

No loss to KLBG. No loss to BAY. No loss to UBL also. Gain to Bagalkot and Bijapur.
For views please.

Actions should be in a composite way in steps.
1. Remove Mangalore and surrounding 35 kms from SR PGT and merge with SWR MYS. From Manjeshwaram onwards up to SWR MYS.
2. Remove POY Kinathukadavu 22 kms from PGT and give it to SA division.
3. To compensate loss of 55-60 kms to PGT, give TCR SRR from TVC division
...

(33 kms) and TCR GUV (23 kms).
4 Attach NCJ CAPE, NCJ TEN to MDU division(90 kms).
5. To compensate loss of app 140 kms of TVC division, attach Quilon Tenkasi (102 kms).
6. MDU gets and gives. No much difference.

Yes. Zero new lines in the last 3 decades. Guruvayoor to SRR-MAQ line was surveyed n number of times but zero result. Ditto for Angamaly Sabari line.
Instead of relying on Mangalore and Nagercoil/ CAPE, both divisions can concentrate on building new lines.

He should have demanded
1. new trains from Shivamogga to North Karnataka areas BJP, BGM, BAY KLBG BIDR. As of now, zero trains to these towns due to 5 zone mess.
2. Bi weekly to Hyderabad
3. Bi weekly to Nashik/ Manmad/ Shirdi.

Bi weekly to Mumbai.
5. Extension of ERS SMVB Trains and KCVL SMVB AC express to Shivamogga.
These would have benefitted south interior Karnataka.
