Yes on MYS route still substations are not ready.

The Someshwara substation on YNK-GTL route is ready I think. So only Prashanti and Prashanti Nilayam got E-Locos (apart from loco reversal at GTL factored in). But still KK, Udyan etc... haven't got due to shortage, I guess.

SWR simply needs an ELS (as discussed in /blog/post/2173216) or atleast KJM DLS needs to be converted for holding E-Locos too.

Other zones like SCR, SR will first see to that their trains get E-Locos and then give surplus to SWR.
Ex: GTL-HUP passenger gets an E-Loco on the same route where other Exp/SF trains don't. I am not against that train getting an E-Loco, but just pointing out that SCR first uses available locos for their trains and then sends surplus (or if told by RB) to SWR.

P.S.: Some locos of SR (AJJ ex-ED) and SCR (BZA ex-LGD) that come to SWR look like they have seen better days :)
