Some anamolies in train names and destinations:
1. Brindavan express does not go up to Brindavan gardens near Mysore.
2. Sharavathi express does not go to Shimoga.
3. Kaveri express from Mysore goes to Chennai. Kaveri river flows from Karnataka to Salem, Erode, Trichy, Thanjavur and Nagapattinam districts. Ideally MYS MV should be called as Kaveri express.

Mangala Lakshadweep express does not have any seat quota for Mangalore. So why call as Mangala? Simply say Lakshadweep express.
5. Karnataka Sampark Kranti via KCG. Does not provide any sampark to Karnataka. Can it be called just as YPR NZM SF?
May be lot of such cases.

1. Agreed that Brindavan had a connecting train to Mysore (I think it is called Nandi express not sure). Now that we have a BG line, it is not wrong to explore extension to Mysore.
2. Original Mangala express used to start from MAQ and run via Shoranur, Coimbatore, Renigunta. It never had slip coach from Cochin. Now, it starts from Cochin, skips MAQ, and also no specific seats to Mangalore (at MAJN). If the train had to start from Cochin, call this as Lakshadweep express and go ahead. My suggestion is to allow a proper train for Mangalore passengers. Call this as Mangala express. Am I expecting too much?

KSK - name says Karnataka and Sampark. So it has to be providing sampark to Karnataka towns. KSK via KCG fails in this aspect. In comparison, Kerala SK provide sampark to almost all district HQ. AP SK starts from Tirupati and provide sampark to many AP towns. TN SK starts from Madurai and stopswat various towns in TN. Maharashtra SK starts from a different town not from Mumbai. There is no point in saying that Karnataka is the only state having 3 SK trains. See how many towns are getting connected by all 3 SK? Realignment of SK to start from any other town or routing via Karnataka towns is apt.
