Central railways has completely spoiled the running of this train with a revised time table and increase in running time. With an average speed of 38km/hour, probably this is the slowest running train in this stretch (West/South).
Hope they try and go back to the old running time. It has odd time of arrival at mangalore,udipi which is quite a pain for passengers. The only people who have benefited from the whole thing is the pantry car service who have increased sales for lunch/dinner as the train crosses smaller stations during these times. Earlier during lunch train used to be at madgaon and during dinner it used to be at mangalore junction where decent enough food at cheaper rates were available.
