This train has ample buffer at GTL. Mostly 17419 and this train arrive at adjacent platforms PF4,5 in GTL.
After that LOCO of this train will be attached to 17419 and 17021 coaches will be added at the end. PF of 17419 will not change but 17021

Thing to be noted is this train will be detained at Gadag for Golgumbaz.

So from GTL , TPTY coaches will be in the front and HYD coaches will be at back.

In return(VSG-GTL direction), HYD coaches will be in the front and mostly it gets PF3/4 at Hubli. This train has lot of buffer so it will be detained in between Koppal and ballari . At GTL station, loco which came with this train will take first part at 9pm and remaining part (VSG-TPTY) will be in the same platform and hauled by BZA WAP4.. Very strange arrangement. You will have lot of time at GTL station and can use first platform restaurant for dinner. Taste is very good.

17022 train will be detained at Pendekallu and Dhone for 1 hour at least. This train will be over taken by 17604 at Dhone and you will encounter crossing with venkatadri somewhere near ulindakonda-dupadu.

Traveled in 2A, coaches are super clean and awesome speed except lot of buffer. There are no catering (IRCTC order based) for 17021 train so you can purchase food at Hospet
