It seems that this trains has its best running only when its is late !! The train which started from DHN on 27-Jan, started almost 4 hours late but despite the late start and its numerous stoppages, it still managed to run in some of the peak routes just like any other fast trains.
• VSKP to Vijaywada 7 hours against the usual running time of almost 8-9 hours.
• Vijaywada to Chennai in 7 hours 40 min which is again very good despite so many stoppages and peak traffic. Reached Chennai at about 5am...

The railways need to cut slack by at least 2-3 hours. It will surely be of help to passengers
