Three things to note in this race. All trains will have slack at the later part of the journey.
1. TN has huge slack between WL-BZA and BZA-MAS i.e. in last 632 KMS TN has slack close to two hours.
2. There was some problem in WL-BZA section and all trains were delayed a lot. Padmavati, Charminar, VSKP GR all got dealayed between WL-BZA.
3....
more... Due to unknown reason TN halted at BZA for 35 Mins. It OT Charminar twice between WL-BZA & BZA - Nellore.
Inspite of running late by 2 Hours TN did BZA - Ponneri 403 KMS in 5 Hrs 15 Mins.
