Don't you think it's more of concern of SWR ?
Except Karnataka Express
Many trains from Bengaluru towards Delhi are heavily dependent on one or other Intermediate Station.
Bengaluru Rajdhani (has GNWL Quota for Secunderabad), YPR DEE Duronto depends heavily on Secunderabad in terms of patronage.
KSK...
more... via Nagpur, had a decent patronage before but nowadays Hubballi, Guntakal and Kacheguda are all the more important due to reasons we know
Both KSK via Bhusawal and even Mysuru Swarna Jayanti Express are dependent on Pune for all year round patronage.
/blog/post/2314766 during this trip my AC 2 Coach was totally empty and so were 2 AC 3 Tier Coaches. I didn't even had a look at Sleeper but could see huge availablity while booking. I had kept my Suitcases on Lower Berths and my food packages on Upper Berth ЁЯШВ
Whether it's due to route or due to slack or due to distance, SWR has been dependent upon Secunderabad and Pune for patronage.
Feel free to divert them all. As I told you we have options.
CR doesn't care for Pune or Solapur that's not SWR's Problem. That'd be an issue of Maharashtra and CR only, both dedicated trains of Delhi from Pune are owned by NR.
Kolhapur Weekly is there for symbolic reasons, not a well maintained train. Seen it twice.
Issue that arises is- if you divert Chandigarh KSK Via Gadag. What will be it's use to Chandigarh or Ambala ?? Do you think there's enough traffic ??
If yes then go ahead. This was the question which started the whole debate.
