It is better to have a new line between KPD and BWT.. I estimate that it reduces the distance between BLR and CHN by 70km, which means travel time reduction by an hour to the passengers. It can also reduce the load of KPD - JTJ section, which is a bottle neck for SBC and CBE trains..
Tough to have such a line as there's forest area in that region.. else I feel the line would have been laid long back..
If new line comes it becomes like a ghat section and if train travels in that stretche it will take more than 4 hrs between kpd to bwt
That's what i mentioned.. laying line itself will disturb the ecology, let alone the ghat section.
