Reminds me of the good old days of 9 railway zones (8 zones was even better) before Hajipurization.

These idiots are just hell bent on erasing every bit of IR history. As long as the station has a name that reflects a particular religion or some British-era name, rest assured that the name will be changed at some time.

Umm.. what original name? Fyzabad was built from scratch in the 1700s. It has no historical connection to Ayodhya.
It was a small fort constructed by a Nawab that was later developed into a township and finally merged with Ayodhya mucipality in recent years.

Well, stupidity has no limit or reason. They'll keep doing this until they make sure that every last name is changed.

The more accurate thing to say is that Indraprastha was located roughly in the same location as Delhi today. But the modern day Delhi is completely unrelated to the ancient Indraprastha or Hastinapur. The city was destroyed or abandoned multiple times in history, with many different rulers building and naming their own cities in roughly the same area. Indraprastha was also a pre-historic name and wasn't in use by an medieval rulers.
The modern day Delhi has been continuously in occupation since the 1200's.

But why to bypass the city? Pretty much all of the trains listed are used by people going to Bangalore only. Diverting them to run so far from the city would remove options for passengers.
For example, MAS-SSPN is mainly used by MAS-SBC passengers and runs practically empty after that. Bypassing through KJM/Chikkabanavara is understandable, but bypassing through Gauribidanur-Bangarpet is a tad too much.

Well, people still take Seshadri even though they lose the entire day. Given the lack of options, they'll opt for anything.
And unless some RSA arrangements are made, NS/CCT trains cannot have late evening departure/early morning arrival at Bangalore. So, until then, these are the only options.

I am not against bypassing Bangalore. I already mentioned this in my post, by saying that passing through KJM/BAW is ok. What I meant was bypassing through BWT-CBP-GBD (if that route is constructed) seems too much.
BWT/CBP/GBD are way too far from the city and poorly connected to act as a bypass stations.

150 years ago?
MAS-SSPN is a very new train. 15 years is more like it.

The Fog pass device doesn't just identify signals. It gives indications for a whole range of landmarks like warning boards, TSR/PSR locations, engineering restriction areas etc.
Loco pilots, no matter how experienced, are not superhumans, to remember the position of every signal on the route (and there will be hundreds of signals, many with different aspects). Especially signals in the middle of nowhere, far from stations and with no landmarks near them, are more difficult to remember when an LP is running a train for hours on end.

Bhagyanagar is not an 'old' name. It is just an alternate name. All the names used for Hyderabad originate from its founder, Quli Qutub Shah.
VSKP's name was not changed. Waltair and VSKP were twin towns. As time progressed, both towns grew and Waltair became a part of Visakhapatnam. Today, Waltair is a suburb of VSKP.

There were two stations in VSKP until 1964. The present day VSKP station was called Waltair Jn (WAT), and a short distance from WAT, there was another station named 'Visakhapatnam Town (VZT)'. In 1964, the VZT station was closed as the city had grown and the most of the inhabitants moved to the north, towards the Waltair area.
A few years later, the Waltair station was renamed as Visakhapatnam as Waltair had now become a suburb of VSKP and VSKP was the main city.
