Hardly. GTL will cater to the MAS-CSTM line and also cater to trains heading towards SBC from GR/GNT side. Sheds like GTL, ET, AJJ, ED etc are designed to cater to a wide selection of routes as these stations by themselves do not have much originating traffic and mostly have passing trains. It won;t be surprising if GTL WAP's are seen hanging around SBC in the future.
Again, I am just saying that an ELS is probably not a requirement with only the MYS-SBC route to cater to. Most trains from BWT side get loco links from farther up in their routes like VSKP or ET, or SR links for those originating/passing from MAS. On the GTL

side, trains via DHNE, or trains going to DD side will be catered by GTL.
Once SWR see's an expansion in electrification, then an ELS becomes an immediate necessity. For the present, expanding the Trip-shed capacity or making provision at KJM for a handful of locos ( as you pointed out) should be sufficient.
