Such a big slack this train has between GNT to GTL. It easily recovered a 2 hrs delay and arrived GTL 15 minutes BT.
Also because of the slip attachment and detachment at GTL in addition to loco change it had to take a long 50 minutes halt. If slip is cancelled the loco change can be completed in much less time or shifted to UBL.
In the end it reached VSG just 5 minutes late.

train can be easily speeded up by 2 hours if slip is cancelled and LHB rakes given. SER should definitely put up such proposal in next financial year.
Also completion of GNT GTL doubling will also help.

Crowded means Railways are inefficient in handling the people boarding SL coaches. Anyways Railways can always run an additional weekly train with only SL and GS coaches between HWH and VSG.
More AC coaches are beneficial to both Railways as well as people in general.
A good way to manage excess crowd is reserving the GS coaches in all SF and M/E trains like they did during COVID and reducing the amount of WL allowed.
