Basava starts at 1330 at Mysore and give way to Shatabdi and arrive at 1640 at SBC. At 1800, it is still at YNK.
Why can't it start by 1430 from Mysore and reach SBC by 1715 and reach YPR by 1800?
It blocks Mysore Bangalore line as well as platforms at sbc and YPR unnecessarily.

Current basava slot can be used by MYS KCVL. MYS 1330, SBC 1630 (after shatabdi) and leave sbc by 1650.

Basava towards Mysore arrive at YNK 0920, YPR at 1010 and SBC at 1045 and leave at 1105. Why can't it reach YPR by 0950 and SBC by 1015 and leave by 1030?

Interesting! This should be brought to the notice of SWR officials. If these blocks removed, more trans can be introduced from YPR. Anyways, they are also shifting East bound trains to SMVT

Couple of years ago SWR had come out with a list of trains which would no longer have rake reversal at YPR...DR-PDY , Chalukya group of trains. Not sure if that is implemented. Trains would have been able to save lots of time and as you have mentioned almost 2 hrs would be save along for Chalukya Exp
