This train is speeded up in section upto Hubli, but after that , no changes. As UBL LTT is being extended to DR, we will have 2 trains to Hubli in an hour's gap. Also, Chalukya will overtake UBL express and reach there half an hour earlier.
I suggest that Chalukya can start by 1830 and reach UBL by morning 0800 and reach YPR by 1530 to reach PDY by night 2230/ TEN by morning 0700.
Anyway for Bangalore late-night passengers, LTT CBE is there. Hubli will get a ONT.
