Once upon a time I use to think why only Karnataka not have good rail routes and use to anger on SWR lot but slowly I realized it's not SWR blamed its minister who filled SWR with all bihar ppl in railway jobs.. We don't have our state ppl in good post in SWR also tenure of such posts will be very short in one place or zone so no one thinks about developing the region by taking risks and efforts and very rare officers do such luckily.. SWR should get better resources, finance and backup and majorly independency to control and run trains in Karnataka at least which can be happen in near future when some new lines comes up.. Like Talkal Wadi connects Gulbarga to interior Karnataka through SWR, Gingera Raichur connects Raichur with interior state through SWR, same way SMET...

RNR/Harihar connects Malnad to North Karnataka and North East Karnataka too.. Bagalkot to Kudachi connecting Belagavi through SWR same way If Bijapur to Miraj via Athani it also SWR.. So like this SWR get lot of routes to run some trains and increase facilities for state people.
