Few suggestions:
1. Dadar to Arsikere and towards Bangalore Chalukya runs 6 days. Why can't we have a proper connecting train from Arsikere to MYS via Hassan? By this, we can get daiy connectivity between MYS and Mumbai. Though SMET ICE is there, it is not acting as a connecting train to Chalukya. PF for both are always not adjoining ones. One can not be expected to run the stairs with luggage to catch next train.
2. Speed up LTT to Hubli daily express so as to cover the distance in max 13...
more... hours. If this arrives at UBL before 9, even Vishwa Manava can act as a connecting train to Bangalore and MYS from Mumbai.
3. Speed up the crawler LTT to UBL via BJP, GDG and extend upto MYS on a weekly basis via DVG, ASK, HAS. Depending on the response, frequency can be increased.
