Forget passenger trains, even freights are not being routed much through the Shiradi route! SWR had rationalized the HAS-MAQ route for freight operations from the iron ore mines around Bellary ( Ranajitpura and Yeshwantnagar) to Panambur port and KIOCL to attract more traffic as the shortest route from BAY to MAQ is via ASK. However, citing ghat constraints, they are running the freights via the Braganza and Konkan route. Effectively they are charging the mining companies for the short route, but running the trains via the longer route for almost 200km more losing a lot of revenue. It's surprising that they are not developing the route even for increasing their freight revenues, let alone improving passenger transport!
