If we compare its TT with Konark Exp TT then halt at vskp can be given very easily. Might need 10-20 minutes but it can be possible and very much needed.
There is slack time in VJA Gudur Section for 1+hr and Vskp can be accommodated, but the problem is there is no incoming and outgoing slot at Vskp with the present timings of the train in both directions. Timings of 2-3 trains need to be changed. One more problem.is continous arrival and deps at Vskp with 10 mins difference it effecting punctuality of trains.
TT of this train being slower than its counterpart which enters coimbatore, chennai central and vizag, can easily enter all these places.
Instead of morning dep from Tata, can it not be night dep from Tata around 23hrs...with a slight faster TT, can also touch VSKP, MAS and then reach ERS around 22 hrs which is much better than early morning dep at 5:15am. Reaches Aluva and ERS around midnight. Lots of people deboard these 2 stations and have to wait till next day morning since no transport is available
You know I always wonder why MAS continues to take in 13351 despite letting go of several important trains like Sanghamitra and others. 13351 has the most deboardings at MAS and was once it's terminating point, but so was Sangha, it always puzzled me how 13351 managed to retain it's MAS stoppage. Even CBE is traversed by this train instead of circumventing the main station of Coimbatore by going via Perambur...
One major reason is parcel and luggage. I have myself observed this in MAS when train comes in especially 13352. There is lot of parcel which is loaded from MAS for this train. In PER this facility is not available. I also remember hearing the same from a rail official. Along with 13351, Raptisagar, Ahilyanagari and Korba-TVC are the only pass through trains which I think are touching Chennai

Useful data. There are stations like Nuagaoan, Bondamunda ,Rengali where there are hardly any passengers who have boarded/deboarded in one month. Should they not re-look at the stoppage at these stations?
For 45 trips if we consider atleast 10 boarding per halt then they are atleast 35 stops below 450 count of the total 80 stoppages which have to be reviewed. They can reduce 20 halts for this train.
