Later moved to UBL yard for maintenance.
Considering the following this proposal has been made:
1) Mumbai connectivity to people of BAY- HPT-Koppal- GDG
2) No faster connectivity to UBL from BAY in the evening hours and in reverse direction during morning hours
3) Poor patronage to 17317/8 UBL - LTT exp
4) no trains to Mumbai from Hubli @ evening departures and no trains from Mumbai arriving Hubli at morning hours.
