This train arrived at 0330 hrs today at MAS (~1 hr early). I was trying to track it from 0200 hrs onwards but IR didn't allow tracking beyond AJJ. If the train has so much slack, why not permanently alter its timing..
Both 11027 and 11028 have very high slack. But speeding up will result in either reaching unearthly hours or starting very late. All the Trains in MAS-CSTM sector can be speeded up considerably. These Metro city connections for Railways is the worst in the Country. Having travelled in this Sector for 45 years regularly I know the progress made is worse than "snail's pace"
Seems der is some devil exits in dis route..
Many will say being single n unelectrified trains cannot be speeded up ..Hyderabad - Pune sector also same route na frm wadi..den how come shatabdi n duronto is der..now MAS Wadi is double route n following same route trains coming frm hyd..seems der is prblm with MAS /SBC - CSTM sector only..in single routes also there are trains running with aggressive avg speed..

Nowadays flight tickets are available for Rs 999 and there are so many flights between MAA-BOM so why would they bother to improve rail connectivity..also Volvo sleeper bus takes only 20 hrs from Chennai to Mumbai..
