This train takes nearly 300 additional kilometres to reach Bagalkot. It should be diverted via GTL BAY GDG BJP route and terminate at SUR. Will be beneficial to many towns. Ballari will get daily connection to Bagalkot Bijapur Solapur.
For KLBG travellers, SWR should run a Bangalore Bidar SF via GTL RC WADI KLBG, which is shortest route.
