How the delay of this train increases in Hospet Vasco stretch shown by this pic. Are they giving freight trains priority over this train during crossings ?

And the stuff continues it's never reaching Vasco ontime NTES never updates arrival at Vasco but last updates are given at Sankval which implies that train is late at VSG always by around 1 hour. The delay starts rising from Hubli and sometimes Guntakal itself. This train was degraded from SF to Exp and still fails to maintain schedule especially in SWR.

Bypasses vskp and does well in scr territory. But it is delayed at both destinations. Freights earn more than this stinking train

Here is todays schedule which is similar for every run even a half an hour delayed arrival at Vasco is considered achievement for it.

Does well between HWH to GTL mostly arrives Howrah 15 minutes late which is acceptable but 1.5 hours delay at Vasco ?
Train may be stinking but still has huge rush. SWR should run it ontime.

Not much problem with 18048 maybe due to held up at outers arriving 15 minutes late at Howrah but still it can be considered as ontime arrival but 1+ hours delays at Vasco end for 18047 are serious issues.
I would say this train does good in all zones it travels except SWR.
