More than Bangalore (which relies on Udyan and LTT-CBE), this one was more of a lifeline for interior Karnataka to reach Mumbai or reach Bangalore by night. NW Karnataka got UBL-DR later on, rest of the section has not been compensated. Bangalore needs a SF in this route with convenient timings at both Mumbai and Pune.
The General Quota for this, I think starts from Dindigul/Madurai (when it enters Madurai division) from where onwards the train starts emptying steadily and an extension to Tiruchendur would give an option to pilgrims...
more... to travel using the berths vacated by passengers from Mumbai/Bangalore.
please wait...Translate to EnglishNamma Bangalore's main lifeline to Central Karnataka, to get to Mumbai or reach Bangalore by night is more important than ever. But, the rest of Karnataka needs more love when it comes to rail links. Bangalore definitely needs a faster train on this route, with dope timings in Mumbai and Pune. I guess the seats start to free up when the train hits Dindigul/Madurai, so why not extend it to Tiruchendur? Pilgrims can then jump in and snag those spots left empty by folks heading to Mumbai or Bangalore.
please wait...Translate to HindiBangalore se zyada (jo Udyan aur LTT-CBE par nirbhar hai), yeh zyada interior Karnataka ke liye raasta tha Mumbai tak pahuchne ya raat mein Bangalore pahuchne ka. NW Karnataka ko baad mein UBL-DR mila, baaki section ko abhi bhi samjhauta nahi mila. Bangalore ko is route mein ek SF train chahiye jo Mumbai aur Pune dono mein suvidhajanak samay par ho.
Is route ke liye General Quota kaafi Dindigul/Madurai (jab Madurai division mein pravesh hota hai) se shuru hota hoga, jahan se train thoda-thoda khali hone lagti hai aur Tiruchendur tak vistar se yatra karne waalon ke liye ek vikalp dena chahiye jo Mumbai/Bangalore se yatra karne wale yatriyon ke khali kar diye gaye seats ka upyog kar sakte hain.
