people who want to travel from dudhsagar to londa/belagavi/hubli board the train from kulem. treck from dudhsagar to kulem which is nearer though not scenic and board the train at kulem especially on saturdays and sundays. too much crowd will be there at dudhsagar (since it is the last train) and it is nearly impossible to board especially for women and children. recently we had a bitter experience while boarding at dudhsagar. people don't even think of whether it is engine/3ac/sleeper/general 100's of people just they will blindly enter the train. engines will also get jam pack. some scary moments also happended during my visit. so it is better to board the train at kulem instead of dudh sagar.
i don't know...
more... SWR what they are doing...though this much is happening they are not even thinking of running an intercity train between vasco and hubli atleast on weekends so that burden on this train can be reduced (timing should be just before this train).
