LTT is also ready to accept it,evening till late night its pretty busy may not allow new trains so easily..So easily replaced the bi-weekly SF slot.

But disadvantage is single route frm GNT Pune almost..distance is not a matter..navjivan is 190kms longer route Dan via Pune ..but as the route is FEDL its not having any effect..so gud TT is needed

The schedule is good. But, Instead of diverting current biweekly 17221/17222, the frequency can be increased to 4/5 times a week by an extra rake and having RSA with 17221/2, with the increased frequency routing through DHNE/GTL/RC or DNE/KRNT/RC.

That is definitely one disadvantage that can lead to delays. But as far as journey time is concerned, with a decent schedule, it can cover the LTT-SLO stretch in approximately 27 hours. The LTT-GTL stretch can be covered in around 14hr 40 min ( the fastest being 14 hrs, which is a non SF train) and between GTL-SLO, if a schedule similar to Amaravati express is provided, it can cover it in around 12.5 hrs. Overall, without having a very high priority schedule, it can still make it in a little over 27 hours. And the other options at SLO ( other than the current 17221) are not much faster either, with Konark and VSKP-LTT both taking around 26 hours. This way, even after re-route it can be attractive for end-to-end passengers as well.
