Hubballi: After the cancellation of the Bengaluru-Hubballi-Bengaluru Superfast Express (train no 07340 / 07339), Hubballi, being the headquarters of the South-Western Railway (SWR) zone, has lost its only dedicated night train to the State capital.
As of now, there are three daily night trains to Bengaluru namely Rani Chennamma, Golgumbaz Express, and Belagavi Super Fast Express, but these trains originate from Miraj (Maharashtra), Solapur, and Belagavi, respectively.
Though these trains run through Hubballi, they cater to large parts of North Karnataka and South Maharashtra. As a result, it becomes very difficult for Hubballi-Dharwad people to get reservations on these trains.
