Today at SBC, YPR all intra-state KA train coming from GTL side like Latur exp, Hampi, SUR exp are all late by more than 2hrs in GTL-DMM stretch. Better they propose this HPT train via BAY, Chitradurga, ASK, though longer but will atleast maintain timings. Also Chitradurga doesn't have a single daily express train to Bengaluru.
