Today once again proved that whenever this train runs late it will lost priority.
17644 Circar express looped at KVR today.and
12717 Ratnachal SF 18463 Prashanthi SF allowed to overtake 17644.and 18047 hasn't allowed to OT 17644.
Controllers did right by not allowing this late running train to OT 17644 circar.

Re# 1902620-36              
Train is not crazy you are crazy after proving nonsense. What has GTL VSG route to do with Prashanti ?
Have you ever travelled this stretch, do you at least know how is the freight traffic here, do you know the gradients and MPS of Braganza Ghats ?
Do you at least know that due to saturation of Hospet VSG stretch with freight traffic track doubling is ongoing ?
18047
...
more...
is delayed only in Gadag to Londa stretch. First of all this is a low MPS route, with track doubling works going on. Next if it arrives LD more than one hour late ontime arrival is impossible at VSG as at CLR brakers need to be attached which takes 20 minutes as also brakes are tested due to steep descend down the Ghats then again brakers dettached at Kulem which consumes another 15 minutes. Remember that Kulem to Vasco is a single track stretch also at 15.10 12779 Goa express departs from Vasco the highest priority train on this route so 18047 is stranded for crossing of 12779 which has just departed ontime from VSG.
Consider this if Prashanti was running to VSG instead of SBC its fate would have been worse than Amaravati.

Due to ghat Section all the trains between Kasara-Igatpuri requires Bankers. Depending upon the number of coaches 2 or 3 WAG-5/7 locos are attached to the rear end of the train which are called as Bankers. They helps the trains to climb the difficult ghats. This Bankers are dettached at Igatpuri where the Ghat Section Ends. Some trains between Igatpuri-Kasara are also provided Brakers(Which helps the train in braking).

If HW is electrified in the next few weeks, this train is an addition to the list of end to end WAPs.

Something must be done to DDN platforms to accomodate longer rakes besides many trains have some of their coaches dettached at HW.
