What is the use of New lines i dont know when they not running trains on Presnt lines simply those lines will rust and decay due to non use and no maintaining them. Present Kotturu-Hospet they cant open for traffic and they talk abt new lines just to make ppl ullu.. Those lines will take decades to come into existnece and until that ppl need to travel by Buses only and rich will travel by Flights and very poor will travel in congested trains only.

it will run as 11139/22139 up & 11140/22140 dn.

Over all Growth and Development is the Key to get Profit and good Services instead of Centeric or one Regionalised. If they Develop these all Entire SWR Stations and run good trains it will help in both Socio Economic Devlpmnt of the Places and railways profit and SWR Zone also will be Improved. If they Only do circus in UBL,SBC & MYS then its no far then SWR can compete other zones in earnings and Improvements. First those freights have to be banned or runned by Seperate Special Central govt Agencies then only it will hit SWR UBL division to think about pass services profit until that it goes like in ths way only..

ha ha They even Shows New line PET as one HUBLI-BGM and Next Dharwad to Belgaum and one more Dharwad-belgaum-kolhapur see 3 New PET's for same region and about Shivamogga to Ranibennur you said and i saw Shivamogga to Harihar new line some thing Survey report so two lines here too. Like this they work for New lines. Gadag-Wadi NL in Pink Book but line running from Talkal to wadi for that ppl of Naregal,gajendragarh and Ilkal fought and now PET sanctioned for Gadag-Krishna via kutomachagi,Naregal,gajendragarh,Ilkal Ligusgur.. But some MP of Haveri dist told it will go through Kanaginahal then Why Gadag-krishna name to fool ppl name it as kanaginahal-Krishna as Gadag-kanaginahal already doubling in stage its not New line between GDG-kanaginahal na..simply naming something in pink book and doing some other in ground works..

22139/40 number will not be used after 16th May.....Only 11139/40 number will be used to operate b/w CSMT-GDG..... however it will run with S/F Fares b/w CSMT-SUR

---

SUR division sent Proposal to Mumbai Div about adding Extra 6 Coaches to this train so still nothing confirmed about that..

---

Let them gauge the demand then can add accordingly...If this puny rake doesn't get full occupancy steadily whats the point augmenting??

---

But to do that they atleast need to allocate more seats to the extended portion. It is not possible to gauge the capacity with just an SL quota of 8 seats

---

Other than on weekends this train runs lite on occupancy,so may not be augmented straight away...If the trend continues they see more bookings to the extended portion better thing is they can keep SUR and till GDG under same GWNL quota and then can take call of augmentation as per demand.

---

But that quota decision is just foolishness ! They can give same quota till SUR if they increase the coaches!
And this too isnt an effective way of protecting interests of SUR pass.. Pass of GDG - SUR section can comfortably book from SUR to LTT in SUR Quota and can travel in the same berth in GDG -SUR section !!

---

Change in days of service bcoz.. Empty rake detained at CSTM may be due to lack of pitline or extra stabling line at Gadag.

---

Days of Service Changed? Before it was running 6 days a week? Now its changed?

---

Now also it is running as 6 days a week only.
Only change was instead of standing rake idle at Solapur for an extra day, now will be standing at CSTM.

---

But why they going to make it stand one day idle in Mumbai for what reason? they can run it as daily na? Primary maintenance is the reason means they have enough time from morning 5.10am to night 9pm Halt at Mumbai daily.

---

It should be made daily now...

---

Agreed for Doubling but Electrification this route still not in prority like Pune-Miraj-londa or HPT-UBL-VSG sections. But Doubling mein iske jaisa koi priority nahi hai abhi tak ab iske baad pata nahi kis pace pe chalega Doubling work

---

NTPC is funding on this route like hailstorm, thus the fast pace and work is also of high quality. When the time of gauge conversion, the poorest quality of GC in the entire KA has been used here, hence speed is also low on this route. But the entire scenario has changed now, high quality sleepers and ballast is being used on this route, kind of total change of route up-gradation doubling

---

CR has confirmed the extension by replying 'Notification will be issued shortly'. Congrats :)

---

so this 63% Voting is Going to become reality for 22139 Mumbai CST-SUR SF exp to Ext upto Gadag jn as 11139 Effective from 16th May..
