Travelled on 12649 on 2AC after electrification of Bengaluru-Hubballi line, here are my observations.

WAG9-HC link b/w YPR and UBL means that the train crawls at a mere 90 kmph on the 110 kmph-supported track. My train was delayed at UBL by some 1.5 hrs.

KCG, the run is excellent.

Food is lip-smacking. Cleanliness is well-maintained in all AC classes (don't know about SL).

As other rail users pointed out, SWR made the wrong decision in rerouting it via TK-UBL-BAY-GTL-KCG from the original YNK-DMM-GTL-KCG route.

Overall, a solid 8/10.

Rerouting to support bus lobby between ypr-kcg. They have instilled some local sentiment to divert this

May be to optimize the occupancy of SBC Rajdhani Express they did this and the zonal HQ officers got fastest connectivity with Delhi (along with weekly ubl Nzm SF)

But to cater the demands of zonal hq they disturbed the equations of Bengaluru connectivity with capital. Definitely, somewhere the tendency to earn premium fare through Rajdhani would have played in the minds of SWR officials under the guise of providing Ypr - bay section stations connectivity with national capital.
