Then it will be easy for swr to upgrade this section to sustain speeds upto 130 kmph.
Hhm yup this is only the section in entire SWR which is of D-Special category. Whenever track renewals and some maintenance like works comes this section will be in top priority for all such things because lot of tonnes together freight run on this section day and night no rest to tracks more than 2-3 hours hardly either freights or passengers train will be running. I don't know what stopping SWR to make it 130kmph section but I hope in future after doubling and RE they may upgrade it.And even in Karnataka if any Dedicated freight corridor should be done then this section will be right one I think for that from Vasco to Chennai via Hubli GTL Yelhanka connecting Bengaluru outer and Vasco to Vishakapatnama via GTL GNT BZA (Amravati Exp route)
Presently i think 110 is the mps last week when i was coming from Mumbai to Bangalore in Jodhpur Express its speed was constantly between 90 to 100 and timely touching to 110 kmph in ubl gtl stretch.
Yup below 110 trains run on this section that's not bad but it hope after doubling they may allow to run trains above 110
