This train is in service since 1980's. 70-80% of its present halts are there since its inception. Oneof the finest n best maintained train of SCR got superfast status in October 2006 after Ruby jubilee celebrations. It's not easy to remove an existing halt for a train that too a popular one. BTW, what extra halts does this train has when compared to others?

You are right all the halts for this same as of now which were before it was a SF...If my memory serves right Only Aler was added and deleted and again added.
.
This train has bit of reverse pattern to Godavari which has more halts in Godavari dists and less in between BZA-SC, where as this one has more halts between BZA-SC section and many use this as connectivity from there to various areas in godavari dists.

Gowthami also used to have a Sleeper Slip coach to Bitragunta in 1990's, that sleeper used to be attached to a passenger from BZA to Bitragunta.
