Railfan_SRDiv^~ 2482 blog posts12623 Sat departure had an awesome run from chennai to kottayam.Its almost on time at all stations specifically tcr, trtr and ktym which is very rare.It got so much good priority that it covered mas to cbe in 6 hours 50 minutes faster than shatabdi and pgt to tcr in 1 hr by arriving cbe,pgt,tcr 5 mins before time.The happiest thing is it arrived tripunittura and kottayam also on time thereby reaching tvc 8 mins before time .The train can further be speeded up once the doubling work in kottayam cngr line gets completed.Hope the Legendary mail,the King of SR (MAS div especially),the king of superfast mails gets good priority in future.
Earlier 12623 used to arrive QLN @ 0955, but now it got revised to 1020. So to run 41 km from KYJ to QLN non stop on an electrified double line, it has all of 58 minutes(that too LHB rake with WAP7 power).
