In the event of GTL coming to SWR ( a remote possibility), it cannot be harmful to the region. GTL divn was in existence even before SWR is born. So, exploitation will not be that much easy. Secondly, the area under GTL divn will continue under GTL or with TPTY.
I feel GTL in SWR can be good for SWR. SWR will learn what is meant by connectivity, punctuality, running of trains, maintaining of stations other than SBC/YPR/ MYS/ UBL. Also, continuity of juristriction under same zone can help faster completion of YNK-GTL doubling and electrification, which will help all in that area.
