Most of the KONKAN TRAINS ( 90 % ) are operated to Kerala which contribute only 5 %.But Karnataka contributes 35 %.But no Konkan Trains are operated from Mumbai and Ahmedabad via Konkan ,Madgaon and Londa to Hubli ,Bangalore and Bellary.Now Konkan zone informs fully saturated line and no new trains operation are not possible.So at-least some Mumbai-Madgaon Expresses may be extended to Hubli / Bangalore without any additional trains operated in the highly saturated Konkan Route.

But KR is not Goa VSG to QLM is also Goa which comes under SWR and heavily neglected. VSG PNBE is one VSG train running via KR but it is not given much importance by KR just check my post:

Sad to note that for rlys, SWR means only Bangalore.
1. If you ask for connectivity to Mangalore, answers are that MAQ is in SR and Palakad division is putting problems.
2. If you ask trains via Hassan-SBHR, they say that HMRDA is the hurdle.
3. For MAQ-UBL, BGM, BJP, BAY, etc., even GR all can be operated via MAO, there
...
more...
are no such problems. Who is blocking?
4. Why no connectivity from MYS to Goa (MAO/VSG), when entire stretch is in SWR control?
5. Why all available trains are made to criss cross the state instead of going in short route?
6. KSRTC runs buses every 15-20 minutes round the clock bet SBC-SMET. Why only 2 passenger and 2 express trains in this sector?
7. KSRTC runs buses every 20 minutes to Hassan and beyond to south Canara, but no trains from SBC-HAS, via ASK. Why the link from Tiptur to Dudda is in cold storage for so long?
8. Why no connectivity from SMET to Hubli and Belgaum?
9. What is the use of Kadur-CMGR rly line when only one pass to Shimoga is running? Why no connection to any other cities?
10. Why much needed North-South link Harapanahalli-Hospet is delayed for decades?
11. Raichur-Gulbarga is going to become SWR. Will they divert trains in RC-GADWAL-HYB stretch, which is shorter than via VKB?
11. Why all SF, AC SF and Duronto from Bangalore are only to other states and not to connect Karnataka cities and from SBC to Mumbai (via Hubli/ Gulbarga)?
12. Super crawlers Chalukya is made to wait at YPR for 2 hour 45 min at YPR daily and if you ask for extra train to Mumbai, they say no platform available at SBC/ YPR. Who is at fault? When Chalukyas were extended to TEN/ PDY, we were promised about another exclusive train from SBC-Mumbai. Where is that?
13. SR is running 5 days/ week train in CSTM to NCJ/ TVC (4 days to NCJ and 1 day to TVC) via KR Puram. This is made to move at snail pace in SWR territory (JTJ-DMM in both up and down directions) to adjust timings at end points. Inspite of this, there is no stop for this train at Yelahanka, which can benefit SBC people. Who should take it up?
14. Inspite of the fact more than 50 luxury buses are operated in SBC-Mumbai sector, there is no convenient trains. Udyan is a fast passenger, Coimbatore express is Delay Darling and Chalukya with just 16 coaches is a superb snailer. In other weekly trains from Gujarat/ RJ, no quota for SBC-MUM. Why no one is looking into the facts?
15. Why no train from SBC-SA via HSRA (This is SWR Territory) at convenient timings? Only long distance trains are there which are of no use for public in this sector. Buses are there between Salem and Bangalore every 15 minutes round the clock.
16. Even we cannot plan a rly stn near Electronic city on SBC-HSRA stretch to suit software people who are made to use roads for 2-3 hours daily. Why?
QUESTIONS CAN CONTINUE, BUT NO ONE IS THERE TO LISTEN AND ANSWER.

7th point not every 20mins sir for every 5mins you'll find a bus to hasan, buses to dharmasthala, mangalore, kundapur, udupi, chikamagalur, kukke subramanya runs full everyday this is abt K.S.R.T.C and 100's of private buses runs full. But mangalore and above places has jus 2 trains that too people prefer day train nly till mangalore after mangalore it runs almost empty. There shld be two train at night the present via- mys departs at 8pm, another train shld depart at 8:15pm frm ypr and via-ask, 11:15 pa dep at ask and reach has at 12:15, so around 70mins gap at has will not make any problem.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
