Extension would deprive seats to Coastal KA Uttara Kannada & Udupi districts people. Coastal people have long fought to get train connection to its State Capital, Bengaluru.

Train is just 14 coaches due to technical limitations of Ghat crossing. So adding coaches is also ruled out & if done, they would need to change timetable which would result in late arrival at Blore. & also that would necessiate changing timings of other trains which get crossed in Ghats like 16511/12 Kannur Exp & 16585/86 Murudeshwar Exp.

very Good occupancy. So don't you think Extension might snatch seats from Udupi & Uttara Kannada Dist people ?

Vasco has daily connection to Blore via Hubli. If another connection between Vasco- Bengaluru is needed then they can plan extension of 16585/86 Murudeshwar Exp. & some sort of rake sharing with 17309/10 Vasco-Yesvantpur Exp if possible. Connecting to Chennai via Connection train can also be thought of.

Also SWR need to re-introduce that 17311/12 Vasco-Chennai weekly which is presently running only till Hubballi.

That Daily 17309/10 Vasco-Yesvantpur Exp. has odd arrival & Dep at Yesvantpur end. SWR should start caring for their own trains & provide better timings, so it can arrive bit earlier at Yesvantpur say atleast 8~8:40am & dep from Yesvantpur postponement by 2 hours, that can do lot of wanders.
