If I am not wrong the last one ran relatively empty till Secunderabad! Why are they running unreserved specials? They should run reserved specials and advertise it well, then it will run full. Rather taking this route, it should be run either via RNC or via TATA. Honestly this train doesn't provide relief to either the rush in TATA-ERS or DHN-ALLP
Secondly what is the obsession with this train running via SC and NED of all places, after SC run via NGP and get it over with, also the route via CPU could have been considered too, might have even swung in RNC along the way via TORI, LAD and then again joined the Dhanbad bound line at Barkakhana!
