class="reversehighlighted">ning time exceptionally long and therefore poorly serves UBL. It saves 2 reversals at PUNE and DD as well. It will make the train reach NZM at same time as 12649 and improve end to end patronage. Also it reduces fog effect since it is not so severe in this route via BRC-KOTA. Wrote this to SWR in pgportal, but they denied diverting and gave same reply as yours. <br />Instead of rerouting 12649, a new SF train on the YPR-SVDK premium route should be started which will serve BAY to NDLS.<br />12649 is now serving the capital of karnataka well in form of a non premium connection to NDLS along with KK, therefore its diversion will end up being a loss for karnataka itself, its quotas can be changed so that maximum is for end to end passengers. <br />Frequency of swarna jayanti express MYS-NZM can be increased and if possible go via BJP to give MYS a direct connection to BJP than Gol gumbaz via SBC. <br />It would be great if these demands are also taken up.

class="reversehighlighted"> under GNWL, most seats in KK are upto KPG and reduces quota in the remaining leg. This will ensure YG, GR, RC, WADI get better quotas to and from SBC and NDLS. Giving a dedicated RLWL will probably help and is the fastest solution than rerouting 12649.

class="reversehighlighted"> tri weekly will give major boost to connectivity. IMO, at least one of these trains should go via BRC-KOTA to save time, and reduce load on the gujarat trains. I had written to Pgportal but they shot down the request hence the anger with SWR! the pune-DD route unnecessarily increases running time for these trains with two reversals, plus all of them go via that route only be it goa, ksk, KOP-NZM, and swarna jayanti. So one train via BRC-KOTA will not hurt passengers and give faster connectivity down south.

SK) which also is the highest. But these SKs serve other state, the 12629 and 22685 serve PUNE mainly and have slow speed and 12649 serves SC and SBC. So the name is in my opinion actually a misnomer, and more KSKs cannot be started and a new SF can be started to serve other parts of the state. Anyways SK have normal SF priority and few stops, so a normal or even ACSF will be a good option with no flexi fare.
