NTES is the salt of Railfanning. IRI is the sugar. - Kirti Solanki

Sharavati lies idle at Ashokapuram(Mysuru) for more than 30hrs from Friday night to Sunday morning. Why not use it to run as MYS-BAY exp via Hassan, Chitradurga instead of lying idle (it ran as MYS-RU Spl once upon a time but cancelled later on)
Can depart MYS on Fridays at 23:00
JRU-04:00
Chitradurga-04:45
Ballari-07:45....

The return BAY-MYS can depart BAY on Saturdays at 11:00
CTA-14:00
JRU-14:45
MYS-20:45.
This will act as a night train on one side, & return is day train. There is not a single train connecting Hassan-Chitradurga, Ballari. Atleast instead of lying idle without the need of a new rake, Sharavathi can be run as Mysuru-Ballari Weekly Exp.
