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.

Goa express and other trains may run with full 22 coach LHB rakes after 2nd pitline at VSG is commissioned.
But this train can run with 22 LHB rake as it doesn't have PM at VSG. Also it's ICF coaches are in pretty bad condition.
