Agree with you 15 hours is too much and being spl I am sure it will arrive in afternoon after 1330 when PF are free. They cleverly avoided Puri spl bypassing vskp though it's regular slot.

If you observe the TT .. Train in anakapalle around 7:40.For around 30 km from anakapalle to vskp this train taking around 2:30 hour.. This is how travel time is increased here. Not because of running via Gudivada. This train running shortest kilometers route between SC-BZA
