Slip coaches from Hubballi were being attached to Goa Express at Londa
They wanted to cancel this slip coaches train
But if this happens then Hubballi would have been deprived of daily connectivity...
more... to Delhi
So they re-routed this train via this route because slip coaches train was cancelled
Recently there is a news that Goa Express will be LHBfied. It will get LHB rakes because they got rid of these slip coaches train
This re-routing has advantages like:
ЁЯФ╣Tumakuru - Arsikere - Davanagere - Haveri - Hubballi section got daily connectivity to Delhi when combined with another KSK i.e., 12629/12630
ЁЯФ╣Gadag - Koppal - Hosapete - Ballari section got connectivity to Delhi
ЁЯФ╣Kurnool - Kacheguda - Nagpur - Hazrat Nizamuddin route remains same
