Even now also Basava Exp is of no use to any one of Gulbarga or Bagalkot Bijapur ppl. Don't know to whom it is catering under SWR Tagg?
They can reroute it via Gadag Ballari GTL or CTA atleast some ppl needy ppl could use it.. Hampi can't be made up to Bijapur but Basava can be run as Bijapur Mysuru with early arrival at Bengaluru.
