I travelled with in this train in both directions between SUR & KYN.
11305 CSTM-SUR Exp reached KWV at 05:55 (well before scheduled time) and departed at 06:30. I have been tracking this train for a few days and found this happening regularly. It is probably because as per schedule, it is supposed to run behind 11052 KOP-SUR Exp after KWV.
Also, this train is received at SUR on PF 4 or PF 5. At the Same time 22134 YPR-SUR SF EXP or 57130 HYB-BJP PASS is received on

PF 1. This is unfair. SUR is in Maharashtra , so 11306 Exp deserves to be on PF 1.
11306 SUR-CSTM Exp is scheduled to leave SUR at 20:25 behind 16382 CAPE-CSTM Exp.
When I travelled by this train, i found 16382 EXP standing on PF 3 and 11306 EXP departed ahead of it. This later resulted in 11306 SUR CSTM EXP halting at KWV for 30 mins at KWV to allow CAPE-CSTM Exp to pass ahead after its own halt at KWV. This is absolute foolishness on the part of management at SUR. They could have avoided this mess at SUR itself. This train almost always reaches KYN behind schedule due to such mismanagement.
On the whole , 11305/11306 CSTM-SUR-CSTM Exp is a dump of all the mismanagement happeneing in SUR division.

@All:-
Thanks for freely expressing your views on this.
First thing's first...No hard feelings for people of K'taka here...I am myself from K'taka....

Next, I haven't seen

HWH Rly stn....so I would not like commenting on that.
About SBC....few things should be noted as below:-
-->SBC-UBL JS EXP, SBC-NZM RAJ EXP , as far as I know, travel out of bangalore via YPR and not via BYPL....And this cannot be done if they depart from PF 1.
--> Not sure about SBC-MAS and MYS-MAS Shatabdi Exp trains.

My point is...
--> Most stations have best facilities on PF 1, so trains terminating and leaving from that station attract more crowd than most other trains. The same is about SUR.
--> Most of the crowd in YPR-SUR SF EXP alights at GR.
--> And, inspite of poor schedule of 11306 CSTM-SUR Exp, majority public comes till SUR.
--> So, they deserve to alight on PF 1 when it is available.
It does not make sense to leave PF 1 vacant and take in 11306 EXP on PF 4.
In most cases, 11306 EXP reaches before YPR-SUR SF EXP & HYB-BJP pass.

After posting this point earlier, I realised why they are doing this....
--> YPR-SUR SF EXP has been allotted a parking at the siding track at GR end , where previously 12116 SUR-CSTM exp used to be. They cannot do it , if it arrives on PF 4 or PF 5.

Thanks for clarifying your thoughts. With the first impression I really thought that you didn't like 22133/34 arriving/departing from PF 1 because it doesn't serve much of Maharashtra.
Coming to the point of assigning parking tracks to the trains, do you know why 22133/34 has been assigned the siding track at GR end? Because it makes more sense to put train going towards Hotgi on Pune end and trains going towards Pune should be put on Hotgi end because it eliminates the need of Shunting Locos in this purpose. The Loco which hauls the train can bring the rake on PF.....

Thanks for response, IR should increase the 3rd AC coaches from 1 to 3 .... 22133 is running completely full and even RAC and WL are not getting confirmed because people here are direct commuters i.e they board at YPR and get down at Gulbarga...

Regarding on which platform the train should come we should leave it entirely to Railway Officials at the station as we do not know what technical challenges or any other challenges they are facing.... and I am sure if it is possible they would have definitely brought the train under question on PF1 for sure as SUR is Division office and also this trains connects SUR to its state capital.... But we need put our point saying that this train need to come on PF1 rather than mentioning its Maharastra and SUR is in maharastra which is not a good way of proposing...
