Are they planning another MEMU shed at UBL?
Yes i think so because UBL is the only place in North Karnataka where good infrastructure is there for establishing these sheds. I heard that UBL DLS will maintainAC Locos (mostly only WAG9s) after electrification of GTL UBL MRJ PUNE section. Regarding MEMUs it can also be maintained at DLS itself but mostly a dedicated shed will come. But definitely UBL DLS will home WAG9s to handle dense freight traffic in SWR because KJM wont be allowed any freight locos it will home only WAP7s. But i wish not to touch UBL DLS instead of it SWR should construct a seperate ELS near Gagag
🔹Electric locos can be maintained at UBL DLS (just like GY) or new ELS might come up. But IMO ELS will come up at UBL not GDG (if sanctioned)
🔹But I heard that maintenance of MEMU/DEMU will be done respective MEMU/DEMU shed not at ELS/DLS
Because recently ER decided to maintain MEMU in JMP DLS so
Let's see what happens in this case
