Re# 6114989-13              
Will this train go to SBC and take reversal, or it will be rerouted via SMVT ?

Post extension, if it goes to SBC and reverses also, eventually it will be rerouted from KJM to SMVT.

You might be correct.

If this extension is true and if this train still goes to SBC with a loco reversal it will be have to cross 3 stations both sides (BYPL, BNCE and BNC) as it is currently but the only difference is from BYPL to join BAW it has to go via BAND which could take lot of time so it might a better option to route it via YPR with LR or KJM-SMVB-BAW (by passing YPR) of course with a cost of SBC.

Let’s see how they route it in case of extension :)

Now, it's time to make it bi-weekly. Already MAS-SBC is packed. Now, there will be more response till SMET from SBC and MAS. It will be a sure-shot hit, even if they make this as a daily express.

There is some sizeable no of tamil population in Shivamogga-Bhadravati region. This train is for them for end to end travel or TN region. Presently they need to change over at Blore.

This is a useful diversion and better use of resources overall (better train for Shimoga than the special via Ballari) while there still remains one live connection between Chennai and Puttaparthi by 22601/02.

But I would be very concerned that this could set the wrong precedent where trains get diverted from their original route due to political pressure. No complaints had they done this after giving a new train for MAS-SSPN along an alternate route via PAK, DMM.

Just a couple of weeks ago, User Irifan had highlighted that there were zero stops between Bangalore and Puttaparthi. This was never looked into nor was there any attempt to fix it (experimental halt at some of the intermediate stations).

Chennai Vasco Weekly had been short-terminated at Hubli, and nothing has been heard of it since.

It's bad extension, extension means it should run via that station. By skipping that station diverting the train is not extension. It is cancellation of that train - Dude.

This extension looks like "taking food from ones mouth and enjoying". If they want they should ask new train & implement new train, not taking another station train.

😡😡😡.

Thus train runs nonstop between SBC and SSPN. Why can't it be provided stops at Yelahanka, Doddaballapura and Gauribidanur? It will increase patronage of the train as well as linking north Bangalore to Chennai (atleast once a week).
Train has lot of slack and returns by night only to SBC.
