RC and GR lag in connectivity to NDLS.RC has only 41 seats in Karnataka Exp and 37 seats in Rajdhani, which is 4 days a week.While GR has only 1 train to NDLS which has around 70 seats (including seats in all classes). While UBL has a daily connectivity to NDLS by GOA link, biweekly KSK (12629/30) and weekly MYS - NZM Swarn Jayanti Exp. Biweekly 12629/30 serves UBL/BGM/PUNE. This biweekly train would serve RC/GR/SUR. This combination (12629/30 & 22685/86) would become a perfect Karnataka Sampark Kranti, serving more parts of Karnataka. Also by running on this route, 2 loco reversals can be reduced (PUNE/DD). Also running time from YPR - DD can be cut down by 5 hrs from its present timings.

Yes, that is a very good suggestion. There is not a single train in YPR-DMM-GTL-WADI-SUR-PUNE-KYN-BRC-RTM-KOTA-NZM. Also WR is capable of running trains at high speed of 130-140 kmph. This train being LHB, can easily hit 130 kmph mark.
