The train has 'Sampark Kranti' tag, which means stoppages/ bookings/ quota are very much restricted. If this train is rerouted via BRC, KOTA, every state will get just one official stop and all others will become technical stops and you can not book tickets. Even within Karnataka, it does not have stoppages at few important junctions like ASK, Birur.
I would suggest that let it become YPR-CDG SF Express with stoppages at TK, ASK, BIRUR, DVG, HVR, UBL, BGM, MRJ, PUNE, PNVL, BSR, BRC, KOTA, NDLS/ NZM, PANIPAT,UMB & CDG. Stoppages from PNVL to CDG are in line with Kerala SK and this new SF can share slot with those timings.
Let...
more... me tell you the advantages:
1. Faster than present KSK via UBL route
2. Provides a link between Bangalore to Mumbai, which is totally neglected.
3. Provides a faster connectivity bet Karnataka and GJ/ RJ also.
