Right, so let's address the elephant in the room and talk about how in spite of having the commercial speed of a superfast train, this train hasn't made it end to end at 55 kmph in aeons. For your consideration, yesterday's arrival at MFP, today's arrival at GKP, and the average running statistics.

In such a case, is it not better to adjust the timetable to reflect reality more accurately? Ideally one would have the train continue to be a superfast in deed as well as name, but from the perspective

of the average passenger who isn't savvy enough to look up the running delays of the past few days, I'll argue that this is a more useful timetable than the previous one.

I'll say this, though. If this doesn't meet the bar for SF, the decent thing to do would be to derate this to M/Exp so that passengers aren't overcharged.
