Agree
One reason Kerala got most of the long-distance trains is because they used to have the capacity, a lot of trains came when the KCVL terminal came into use. Once they maxed out, additional trains are being taken to CBE and TEN. Interior Gujarat gets foisted with these trains at the other end because of lack of capacity in the Mumbai-Ahmedabad section from where most of the traffic is.

KR had one coaching terminal in MAO (RN maintains a couple of passenger trains) and that was occupied by trains from the North.

Meanwhile SR saturates MAQ CDO with south-bound trains. Coastal Karnataka suffers from apathy from all sides.

Coastal Karnataka needs connection to North Karnataka but not one SWR train goes south of MAO nor does any SR train run east of MAO. A namesake exception would be the older Poorna Exp which is the only train which has somehow managed to still hold on against mighty odds (Monsoon timings, Braganza Ghat doubling, alternate bi-weekly SF train) amidst the inter-zonal cold war.

KR has regularly played spoilsport for new trains citing operational constraints every time and had only relented in cases where there was significant political pressure exerted.
