As we know there is no direct trains from KOPPAL,HOSAPETE,BALLARI To KALABURAGI ,SOLAPUR ...so here is chain link train ..passengers from kbl,hpt,BAY can take 16591 hampi exp and get down at gtl station normally this train arr gtl at 23:50/55 at pf no 02 ..similarly 17307 basava exp will arr gtl at 23:50/55 at pf no 01 from mys/sbc..As I hv seen & my travel experience till hampi exp arr basava exp won't dep ..I did this twice & observed twice ..so u get less than 5-10mins to change train it's not a problem since pf 2 &1 r beside .basava exp will arr kalaburagi around 5am .Note: if 16591 hampi exp running late more than 45mins from ubl .. this train tip won't help ..

For passengers between Bangalore and Mysore not a very advisable train- this train has seen quite some late runs and late arrivals into Bangalore city and the days it runs late by more than 20 mins, chances are that 16558 Rajya rani overtakes this train between Bangalore and Mysore as it has a more agressive schedule and a lesser turn around time for the rake and cant be delayed-short distance passengers are requested to rely on Rajya Rani rather than this long distant train which has a complete rest at Mysore
