This WAS the best Sampark Kranti, at par with Rajdhani ~ until SWR screwed it up completely by diverting it through Hubbali and Ballari.
Had superb running times when it used to run via Yelahanka, Gooty, Kurnool, Kacheguda.
From a journey time of around 31 hours - SWR has made it to around 43 hours from YPR to NZM....!!!
