Along with other trains like DHN-Allp, Raptisagar group, Korba and Indore TVC, Sabari was also intially supposed to by pass SRR. The passenger associations from Calicut side wanted it to come to SRR as there was no Hyd train for them and SRR was a good option . So except Sabari all other trains started by passing SRR. Ideally now Sabari can easily save close to 1 hr. But it depends on SR (TVC div) if they are willing to receive it earlier in TVC or not
