16542 runs full just because of mrj bgm ubl pax but 16541 is not that must taken by the pax. One good thing about this train is its a very good alternative train from Belgaum to Bangalore.
It's getting decent patronage from PVR/MRJ itself. Reamaining seats get filled by BGM/UBL. It's not loss making train. Even both the timings are perfect.
This slot can be explored for running a new triweekly YPR LTT express. It can start from YPR at 1800 reach LTT by 1600. Return can start from LTT in UBL train slot. UBL LTT can start an hour earlier to reach BGM by 0600 and UBL by 0900.
