In 1978, Circar's timings were (all departure times except final destination) -
MAS - 7:20 PM, BZA - 6:35AM, COA: 1:05 PM.

COA - 12PM, BZA - 7:05 PM, MAS - 6:45 AM

Until the mid 90's, it used to run via TEL-GNT-BZA with a reversal at GNT. It was diverted through the mainline for a while before being diverted via NGNT again in 2008.

Earlier, at the time of introduction and during 1977 (year of enclosed Timetable) , was the rake maintained at COA or at MAS ?
Also, if u r aware, pls share the rough timeline of CDO which owned the Circar rake.

I am not sure about the 60s to 80s. It may have been maintained at COA.

Throughout the 90s, it was maintained at SC. I believe it had an RSA with Gouthami for quite sometime.
