I have not opposed your claims. Of course we must have rail network at least on par with neighboring states - TN,AP and Kerala. This is because all previous RM's have neglected Karnataka badly. Things would have been very different if Mr Kharge had 2-3 railway budgets.
[1] 22133/34 has very good patronage. Mr Kharge had ordered to add 3 more SL coaches long back but Authorities at Solapur are looking at ways to cause inconvenience. In the first place, they added only 1 SL and 1 3A coach and in Dec they removed that 3A coach. This is the attitude of Solapurkars towards Gulbarga.

17319/20 is relatively new train and needs some more time to settle down. Even though seats are available, it is running full with general ticket travelers between GR - SC. This trains is doing the job of perfect Intercity Exp between these 2 cities.
If it doesn't pick up, it should be extended to MAQ via MAO.
[3] You are mistaking me... I never said SBC-UBL-CSTM has no passengers. I said the route has not much traffic when compared to SBC-WADI-CSTM line. With doubling of YNK-GY line, both CSTM-SBC and SC-SBC get double lines. But if you see, there are at least 10 ntrains from SBC to UBL everyday and hardly 5 trains run full.
[4] Totally agree with 16569/70 YPR-KCG-YPR train timings. I don't understand the strategy of SWR... Already 12735/36 YPR-SC-YPR GaribRath on the same days..... Why people will opt of 16569/70 when Garib Rath is running at better slot? I think SWR should change the days of run of this train to Tue,Thu,Sun from YPR end and Mon,Wed,Fri from KCG end.... Most importantly run this train from MYS!!!
[5] I really mean to build terminal at Anekal instead of Hosur :)
One thing I really hate about SWR is, they bother more about our neighboring states instead of Karnataka. Why SWR trains to other states run with 12 Sleeper class, 4-5 AC coaches and trains inside Karnataka has just 6 Sleeper Class coaches and 2-3 AC coaches.... If everybody is ready, we all can go and meet SBC DRM and raise this issue......

Rather we should all meet up first, know what their current plans are , and then suggest them what we feel might be better to both the public and railway s.
In this era of technology , where bandra worli sea link is possible , I don't think two three major steps which are innovative shud be thought that it's not possible.
Like linking the sbc ypr line with sbc bnc line. Would solve the major platform issues. And on sbc mys side , 1 to 4 platforms cannot be...

utilised. This also should be addressed.
There was announcement of sbc cmnr new line. Wouldn't it be simple if the new line commenced from maddur instead of sbc? Maddur malavalli kollegal cmnr? Maddur eould be a junction then . In the future , maddur can be connected to tk which was also a needed route , initially planned from pandavapura.

yes i guess we are on the same page then.
i completely agree with the lack of enough coaches thing. infact not just SWR, i feel many times when a new train is added, it would be better if an older train is augmented with more coaches instead. would be more cost effective too.
yes a mys-kcg train would be awesome. leaving mys around 6pm, reaching sbc at 8:30 and then reaching kcg at 9:00. similarly in the return, it should reach sbc at 6 and mys at 9:00. it will be a...

perfect train.
the newly announced weekly pondicherry express is a prime example of wasting a rake. it has 12 SL, 3 3AC and 2 2AC. even if pdy deserves a train, all it needs is 5 or 6 SL, 1 3AC and 1 2AC. with current configuration it will run empty just like the old GR.
