If u say A.P express must cater state of A.P. Same way, Karnataka Sampark Kranthi must cater the state of Karnataka!! Isn't it??
That answer s your question of why KSK takes longer route.

TK,CTA,BAY,RC,GR etc are not remote towns in KA buddy. Get your facts right and then we can talk one on one!!!

totally agree with you,, all the times, Bangalorean trains ply for EAST main lines, which take them out of KAR n other towns remain with nothing, wit this train , Pax of UBL- DWR can easily take amravati express upto Bellary and catch this train there after easily..........

---

by this train interiors of karnatak are directly getting connected with interiors of Maharastra,Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh,, no need of routing it to other routes, very good train....... cities like Tumkur,Bellary,Hospet (Near By),Hubli-Dwr(by catching Amravati up to Bellary) are getting connectivity to Varanasi,Jabalpur,Allahabad (Chheoki)..... whats wrong

---

altough they are remote towns,-- they dosen't hav any importance or what (BGM-UBL-DWR-TK-DVG), actually Karnatak Raj should ply from UBL_PUNE_BRC strech wit good speed, thats the real meaning of that train and even for KSK too... what the use of naming those trains with Karnataka- if they do not satify needs of they home state....
