Will it be good if this train runs via Kolar, Chikkaballapur, YNK,YPR instead of KJM between Bangarapet-YPR, anyhow it has 2 overtakes in that section, instead of the overtakes it can run via Kolar so that Kolar, Chikkaballapur can be connected to YPR/DVG/UBL. I am expecting there wont be any much running time difference eventhough Kolar is longer route.

Kolar route is on the way to facilitate long version & multiple train run @ single section!!
The PF arnt capable to handle long rake & approximately PF arnt equipped to handle X/O or OT as most been single track halt types...second track @ various PF under construction yet!!
With Token system in place, the route is much slower...further, same time, two train cnt run in various section, as route dnt permit any possible X/O cz of Loop Line miss @ approx all stations!!

all this, other factor dnt need any slight consideration..patronage, existing route demand...

Re# 1649466-2              
A train in the Kolar-Chikballapur-YNK route can be tried out, as the section does not have any traffic other than the 2 passengers everyday. But better to start off with an extended passenger service between BWT/DVG for trials rather than starting off with this express train. The run time will also increase by 1-1.5 hours and may be more due to less MPS on this section. ( Token system is not a problem for speed as such).

Re# 1649466-3              
The section where Token system persist, hav restricted speed to pass thru Stations (exceptions were trunk route like BSB-LKO via SLN, JAT-JUC earlier)...currently complete BUI-MAU-AMH-SHG section works same way & even restricted Speed limit been metioned @ each Station signal!!
If u chck the train mechanism in between CBK-YNK, u get to find, no 3 set of trains intersect any1 bt run only delicately over the section..whch has the baseline of no Station with Loop line to permit any crossings!! KQZ-CBP remain sameway with most serve as halt stations!!
56525 will get affected

by 17313..till Loops dnt get deployed, the newly built BG will remain one train @ a time section!!

Re# 1649466-4              
If I remember correctly, Chintamani, Sidlaghatta and Srinivaspur have loop lines (in addition to Kolar and CBP) and multiple PFs to facilitate crossings and OTs.
If re-routed, 17313 can reach Chintamani ( 65 KM from BWT ) around 20:15 and cross 56525 which also reaches CMY around 20:15). In case of delays also, both IDT and SVS are barely 20km from CMY and with 10-15 min delay, things can be managed. Even with a token system and relative lack of crossing stations, this line can handle a few more non-daily trains.

However, like I said, instead of starting trials with a long distance express train like 17313, some passenger service between YPR and TK/ASK/DVG can be extended to BWT via KQZ first to study patronage and scheduling feasibility before operating any express on this route.

KQZ-CBP do hav few station to facilitate crossing (thats y "most serve as halt station" was highlighted nt all)!!
Multiple Train to & fro run will get sanctioned only after loop track completion hppn on major station, whch is under progress!! Currently, in case of any delay, other train has to remain blocked for @ least 1-2 hrs & which could hav major impact!!
If handling was possible, there would hav train over the section..but train schedule & track layout confirm the limitations, as of now!! The possibility whch existed was utilized to

deploy SPL DEMU in between CBP-SBC!!
Yes, night service totally empty whch could facilitate overnight MAS connection via CBP!!
