Now, it's time to make it bi-weekly. Already MAS-SBC is packed. Now, there will be more response till SMET from SBC and MAS. It will be a sure-shot hit, even if they make this as a daily express.

There is some sizeable no of tamil population in Shivamogga-Bhadravati region. This train is for them for end to end travel or TN region. Presently they need to change over at Blore.

This is a useful diversion and better use of resources overall (better train for Shimoga than the special via Ballari) while there still remains one live connection between Chennai and Puttaparthi by 22601/02.

But I would be very concerned that this could set the wrong precedent where trains get diverted from their original route due to political pressure. No complaints had they done this after giving a new train for MAS-SSPN along an alternate route via PAK, DMM.

Just a couple of weeks ago, User Irifan had highlighted that there were zero stops between Bangalore and Puttaparthi. This was never looked into nor was there any attempt to fix it (experimental halt at some of the intermediate stations).

Chennai Vasco Weekly had been short-terminated at Hubli, and nothing has been heard of it since.

It's bad extension, extension means it should run via that station. By skipping that station diverting the train is not extension. It is cancellation of that train - Dude.

This extension looks like "taking food from ones mouth and enjoying". If they want they should ask new train & implement new train, not taking another station train.

😡😡😡.
