That would have been an utterly worst decision. When KA itself suffers from intra-state conncetivity, why should they keep on running trains to other states. There are enough trains being run by SWR for other states, atleast now let them run intra-states trains.
Have u ever seen Rani Chennamma or Hampi or Golgumbaz while reaching SBC ?? Can anyone imagine just 1 daily train from places like Belagavi/Vijayapura/Ballari/GDG/HPT/MAQ to their own state capital !!!! If they have extra rakes better run them to one of these cities.

Cent % correct bro.. they have to run some trains for state cities too..

Exactly. Mangalore doesnt even have one train to Hubli.

As usual, this is just half baked information PR from SWR. Above mentioned specials will run along with Normal 16515/575 & 16516/76 on those days where there is no pairing run. This is just a kind to bring a rake back to YPR. Attached Full details from Twitter SBCDRM Account.

No. The govt land on which Mallya's stud farm was there at Kunigal was the hindrance. He had refused to hand back the land (part of it) back to the govt. for railway work.
