Hello,
What is the speed of this train?
I think it is taking more time to cover 1900 kms being non stop train.

Hi, I will give some info about tracking the duration and running detils and why it is so slow than other DURONTO's.
This information i have gathered in from 3 of my friends experience on travelling or saw it on the station.
Deaprts Howrah @ 11am, reaches bhubaneswar @ 1650 (+/-15 mins), stops for 5-7 miins, travels pretty fast after that but there are few passenger trains in front of it between Palasa and Vishakapatnam, so a bit slower in between, reaches Simachalam north around 2230pm and reaches Vijayawada aprox around 340
...
more...
to 415 am ; stops for 5-8 mins, then again moves at average speed between Vijayawada and Reningunta, then it moves at average speed till Walajah road and then picks up speed till Jolarpettai.Speeds up till Krishnarajpuram and reaches Yasvantpur around 4pm.
It runs slower between these sections (Chk for other imp trains running between the mentioned sections in trainenquiry.com -- 1)Simachalam north -Duvvada - Samalkot - rajahmundry; 2)Ongole - Nellore; 3)Reningunta - Walajah road 4)Krishnarajpuram - yasvantpur.
If the train is moved to bangalore City, we can save atleast 30 mins from the Journey time.
I donrt know if there is electrification between Hrpuram and Yasvantpur.
