Does this train have the maximum number of reversals? I have traveled from PGT onwards to PNBE and return several times, though it was several years back. I remember reversals at:
1. MAS
2. VSKP
3. KGP
4.
...
more...
ADRA
5. ASN
Maybe CBE.
I do not know whether between ERs and PGT it has reversals. Fastest MAS-PNBE connection, Sanghamitra loses a lot of time going via NGP but it has been extended to SBC and made daily. There is need for trains like this along the east-coast between south and east.

18507/18508 Hirakund No longer reverse at Katni as it just don't go to KATNI now days.
It go via "Katni Murwara" now and does not need any reversal since last few years
In old days in late 1990's this train used to stop at Katni for more than 30 minutes!

Thanks for info. I remember waiting for reversal at CBE, maybe that has changed. I used to wait because the direction of movement determines the breeze inside the train. My window seat would always be in the 'wrong' direction starting from palghat. Hot and humid, so waiting in the night to cool before sleeping!
