in past Ratnachal used to start from VSKP by 12:30 it self..just 25mins break..
There is too much of slack and unwanted stopages and a few overtakes. If speeded up the arrival at chennai might end up becoming midnight !! Dont know how much that has to do with so much slack being provided between VSKP-BZA and also BZA-MAS.
It can delay the start at DHN, so that it can reach VSKP at around 11 am and reach BZA around 18:20. 7 hrs shud be enough. It has given a running time of 6 and 1/2 hrs between BZA - GDR. Even if it counts from 19 hrs at BZA, It can still reach GDR at 00:20. Same with ALLP - DHN
With the existing stoppages it can definitely be speeded up by 3-4 hours. It is quite ironical that despite being one off the slowest trains in IR, it runs packed for most parts of the year.
They need another brother to TPTY and to GY/GTL for people travelling to Rayalaseema
