yeah SWR HQ is nothing but UBL only and this type Chatri works they do very fast and they dont think to run Good SF train from UBL-Mumbai CST but know how to take others train to them.Yes Sure If SWR ready to run daily Exp/SF train from UBL/GDG to Mumbai CST via BJP-SUR then this 11139/40 can be run as Ballari-Mumbai CST or Simple step Extend 17317/18 upto ballari making Rake free and run as ballari-Mumbai CST providing Pit line and PM at Ballari but both things SWR cant do but it can do one thing which is taking others trains to their HQ.In my view 11139/40 Extn to UBL is not right thing but it can run from Ballari in change of slight TT. Real need of train is for KBL,HPT, Ballari Like places here i think instead of giving it UBL Wich already have its Train to Mumbai...
more... .SWR HQ is UBL they need to run Their SWR trains to Intra state cities and Connect State cities to major cities of country later they have to run inter state trains from bengaluru and Mysuru. Shivamogga dont have trains to any other North karnataka cites yet only Bengaluru and mysuru connected Y cant SWR run Hubli/Solapur-Shivamogga Exp train or atleast run BGM/UBL-SMET ICE. BGM Easliy neglected its one of the important city which have Regional Commisiioner office of 7 Districts of Mumbai Karnataka and HQ of VTU governing so many engineering /Business colleges of entire karnataka state..HQ of Premiere Institutions of KLE spread across country in Education..Still how many years SWR takes to provide good Intra State connectivites god only know..
