Karnataka has the unique honour of having 3 Sampark Kranti SF trains to Delhi.
Also, it has the unique peculiarities like
1. no stops in Karnataka state (Via KCG SK serve only Bangalore),
2. no proper timings at Karnataka towns (via UBL SK in return direction),
3....
more... circuitous route but not useful for Karnataka public (via UBL SK).
4. 13 district HQ have no train to Delhi (not even a weekly)!
I suggest that the 9 weekly trains of SK (5 days via KCG, 4 days via UBL) and weekly SJ from MYS be realigned as follows:
Run all SK trains from Mysore - 3 days via SBC, KCG, 3 days via Hassan, UBL, PUNE, Baroda, 2 days via Hassan, CTA BAY, GTL, 2 days via SBC GTL BAY GDG BJP SUR DD.
My logic:
No loss to Hubli Belgaum as they have a daily SF.
No loss to Bangalore - instead of 5 days SK, they get 6 days SK (in two routes).
Mysore get daily Delhi train in one or more route.
Hassan get 4 days connection instead of a weekly one.
MYA RMGM CTA BAY Koppal GDG BGK BJP (all district HQ) get their first ever direct connection to Delhi (atleast twice a week).
Opinions please.
