I fully agree. As this post is on Hassan line, I did not elaborate. For running a train from MAQ to GR/BAY/BJP, non availability of this line is not the reason. For recovering huge investment made, rlys should run more trains and not introduce any new hurdles.
To get more acceptability of a train linking SBC-Hassan area towards coastal Karnataka, can we insist a train from SBC to Ratnagiri/ Sawantwadi via Hassan, majn?
