late may b due to its paring train.. SBC-MAS express will rtn as Lalbagh. 12610 might hv arrived late at MAS so d starting of 12607 was late..
Hope u mite b aware, when this train was introduced, it used to arrive past midnite. that time no RSA.. d same rake dep. from SBC used to rtn from MAS.
I used to travel by this both end.. now stopped.. now my preference is mail...if not KSRTC
