Suggest to change TT of MAS - UBL/VSG trains from current slots to night train from MAS-YPR. These 2 can leave MAS at 2200 (slot avl for 4 days/ week) and reach YPR by 0425 and leave YPR at 0440 with KCVL-YPR slot. Can reach UBL by 1200. VSG by 1800.
Return trip can be from VSG 2045, UBL 0230, YPR 1030, MAS 1700. Slots are available for entire stretch.
Advantages of this would be that SBC-Ajmer/ Jodhpur 16532/ 16534 can take the slots in line with other Rajasthan bound trains, saving

4 hours of journey time for long dist pax. Also, this will free the congested YNK-DMM stretch for 2 days. New train between SBC to Mumbai at 1700 can be thought of. 1700 slot at SBC/ 1720 slot at YPR is free for 4 days a week even now.

But people of ATP,DMM,GTl,BAY,HPT will be missing connectivity to AII,ABR,BGKT as they have only these two weeklies,this should have considered.
I hope SBC is now well connected to Rajasthan by diff set of trains offcourse in diff routs and one AC exp also there and a prem also
Agreed SBC-CSTM huge demand,there are many alternate ways to get a good train.

Re# 1355354-8              
I would like to add few more points:
There is no loss for SBC/ YPR public towards MAS or towards UBL. Let me elaborate.
Now, it leaves just after SBC ICE and before Sangamitra and reaches 1hr 15 min later than Sanga. Who will prefer this train in that sector? You have a high capacity ICE and faster Sanga. After all, entire MAS-SBC is just a 6 hr journey. So no problem.
Towards
...

MAS, who will go to YPR to board this train at 0530 to reach MAS at 1155, paying sleeper class charges? You have Lalbagh at 0630, which is faster and reaches MAS at 1215, just 20 min after VSG/ UBL-MAS exp.
In fact, you will find more pax in MAS-SBC at 2200 slot than at 1355 slot. Return journey, no trains from SBC after 0900 towards MAS, so this train will fill the slot suitably.
For SBC-Goa pax, for both directions, you have a daily link through Rani Chennamma at around same time. So, here also no problem. Will get one more addl train.
In summary, we can say that apart from benefitting MAS-VSG pax, it will be benefitting MAS-SBC and TK-VSG pax also.

ATP & DMM will lose connection through this train, but you have CBE-Rajkot, TN-Okha and YPR-ADI towards Rajasthan. In fact, CBE-Rajkot runs on same day as that of SBC-Ajmer and TN-Okha runs on the same day as that of YPR-ADI. Quotas can be re-arranged to get more seats.
Also, I would like to suggest one train from Ajmer/Jodhpur to Tirupati via shorter route -- via BRC, PUNE, SUR, GTL, ATP, DMM, PAK. Will provide a new link also.
Sincerely, my idea is not to distrub ATP/ DMM to Rajasthan.

BAY/ HPT pax, I do not think much quota is there for these stations and who will board at mid-night 0130 to 0230 ?

Re# 1355354-10              
I dont think Rajkot and okha is alternative for BGKT/AII that is not a justified answer to reroute to save 4hrs of journey for end to end pass
Tpty will not get a train in nearfuture to AII/JU i guess,example MAS got adi exp and sbc got bi weekly not tpty
See bay and HPT has only two weeklies to Rajasthan and Gujarat else thay have to go GTL/UBL to catch direct train.
If

only one train available then defnetly pass(not all but some set of) will not look either it is coming early morning or noon or midnight.
If as per your logic none board or deboard train at 1.30 or 2.30 it should be applicable to every train.
Bay and Hpt has good population of rajasthan and gujarat.
SWR should have run Barmer ac exp or BKN bi weekly via DMM,ATP,GTL,BAY,GDG,BJP and rerouted these two trains.

Re# 1355354-11              
Ok. Agree. I think newly introduced YPR-Bikaner is routed via DMM/ ATP, if SBC- Ajmer/ Jodhpur are sent via ASK. Anyway, Bikaner train has lot of slack from YPR-GDG. Also, distance from YPR-GDG via ATP is less by 45 kms than via UBL and one loco reversal is also less. No train starts from SBC/YPR towards DMM around 0500, so, re-routing should not be a problem with slight re-aligning of speed considering morning incoming trains towards SBC.
I hope with all these points, can we suggest the re-aligning of TT/ routes of al the trains -- VSG/ UBL-MAS, SBC-Ajmer/ Jodhpur and YPR-Bikaner? In the free slot which will become available, one new SBC-Mumbai (of course via DMM/ ATP only) can also be
