U r absolutely right!!!
The train is having fantastic run in between HWH-MGS (even much faster than Himgiri Exp)
Then it enroutes BSB-PBH-LKO, with lot many stoppages (Via Main Line is written on board, but BSB-SLN-LKO is main line, not via PBH)
Further, LKO-MB-ASR is quite better, but Roza Jn type stoppage dosnt sync with this train!!
I...
more... think, IR run this train like Intercity in between BSB-LKO-MB & thats the reason for this train to be bumper houseful (5 AC, which no other train between HWH-ASR/JAT owes)
I have seen Generator Brake Van (with generator on) once in this rain (& never has seen generator van in any other mail/express)
PS: When IR is having HWH-ASR Express (Duplicate Punjab Mail - always empty with 4 SL & 1 3A), serving as back-up, ASR Mail stoppage should be revised, so that HWH-ASR Exp will make some more crowd & Mail will get speeded up, with less MST/Intercity Crowd!!
