Better get down at Pnvl and take fast locals.

Exactly. No use of origin being BDTS I see.

Instead of BDTS round about, better start from Pune via Kjt-Pnvl.

I dont think so that will be possible till Udupi has pit lanes and other infrastructure. I feel KR has to take initiation in doing this mainly in Udupi if they have space or else somewhere nearby where they arrange pit lanes and parking lanes. Then they can start. The biggest hurdle will be that SWR does not have any slot on the ghat section correctly. Once doubling is done then they will additional slots for running trains in this line.

New trains have been introduced because of the minister's persuasion. We still don't know what kind of compromises they had to do to introduce the new trains without any change in the infrastructure on the ghat section.
I guess only trains proposed by the minister will have the RB's approval. Other proposals will likely see the same 'ghat restrictions' hurdle.
