ЁЯФ╣12975/12976 - MYS - JP - MYS Express has LR at Guntakal Junction. So they are doing LC instead of LR i.e., they attach diesel loco on one end detach electric loco from other end and vice versa. This process will take less time
ЁЯФ╣They are doing same process for trains which comes towards Ballari like 11303/11304 - Manuguru - SCSMT Kolhapur - Manuguru Express and 18111/18112 - Tatanagar - Yeswantpur Express at Guntakal Junction
ЁЯФ╣But Hampi Express doesn't belong to this category because LR will not be required at Guntakal Junction for...
more... Hampi Express
ЁЯФ╣Electric loco must be detached and it must go towards Ballari/Raichur side for reversal at Guntakal Junction. After reversal it has to come back and halt at loco parking area. After this diesel loco much be attached to the rake
ЁЯФ╣Same procedure must be followed at Ballari Junction because platform no.1A in which locos are parked is open only towards Hosapete side
ЁЯФ╣So Hampi Express must be detained at Guntakal Junction/Ballari Junction for atleast 30 minutes for loco change which will affect punctuality of this train
ЁЯФ╣So Hampi Express must get end to end electric loco after electrification completes untill Hubballi Junction instead of this complication
