If they run passenger trains then only route gets passenger train traffic but they only look for freight means it's not right way of developing the railway I can say.. Only some routes get passenger trains due to their geographic location else unka bhi haal wahi rehta shayad.. At last hope for the best.. For all routes..

But y not they upgrade it now at least between Hubli Guntakal for 130 MPS as complete stretch is doubled. Electrification is not a barrier to run train at 130 MPS I think they can run deisel loco also at 130 MPS na...

SWR is more interested in operating freight in bulk thats the problem
Always they think profit from freight, Even if they see freight became out of control they will put block for passenger service to decongest freight

So Hubli Guntakal is only for freight purpose now? No need to run high speed trains with such better infra they got. If such they got on Hubli Davangere Ypr they might have upgrade it to 120 MPS until now and will be running high speed trains over that route.. Hubli Guntakal route is always freight oriented less passenger train route.. Infra hone k bawajood no use for good superfast trains over the route. Not a single super fast train in Hubli Guntakal stretch until now.. Hope Gangavati Raichur route help this route to get passenger trains to connect Hyderabad region to North western Karnataka

Current possibility in speed is only between Ballari and Guntakal since SCR is one or the other time they are sending some sort of Inspection specials like Oscillation rake, or some other vehicle along with elocos.
