Bro, and I had seen UBL-LTT Weekly departing just 2mins behind UBL-BZA Pass . I am quite surprised the way 2 trains going in same direction departing just within 2mins from UBL. Is UBL to UBL East Cabin having Automatic signalling ??
May be they were just emptying the platform and one of the two trains was made to wait ahead to let the other train pass
In this case they could have made the overtake at Hubli itself thus saving loads of time for golgumbaz
Yes, I too expected SPL will leave before GG, that would have made a clear path for both trains. I myself had experienced GG departing at 23:50, still reaching YPR at 7:30. 8hrs for GG both sides between UBL-SBC-UBL should be easily possible.
BGM-SBC SPL arriving on PF3 at Hubballi.
