KA needs a night connectivity, & not a train starting at 18:00. There was a YPR-Miraj Bi weekly Spl long back which was bumper hit, even 1A was running full in that, used to depart at 20:40 then.
Also this Special has worst timings at UBL, DWR. The present YPR-Belagavi Special has better timings can be run till Miraj so as to cover Gokak, Ghatprabha, Kudachi like the erstwhile Miraj Special and needs to be daily.
