Actually this whole MNE-SHC section has gone worse from bad in last few months..thanks to SPJ Div controllers and single line..Many trains are taking 3 hours to cover 40 kms b/w MNE-SHC..Ek Vaishali ke aane se itna problem baaki trains ke running mein nahi ho Sakta..I will still say that Vaishali is given top most priority at SHC & in SHC-MNE section as informed by my SHC based friend (an IR employee)..Ye jo chota chota delay hai,wo bhut Kam hai..baki trains 2-2 ghante delay depart kar Rahi..:-p
Kal bhi 12553 controlled rahegi @ SHC.
