Reached Bangalore at 6 this morning instead of last night at 9 PM. Was doing around 6 and 1/4 hours late at Nagpur, 4.5 hours late until Vijaywada outer, and it left BZA 6 hours late. By the time it left Chennai, it was already 11 PM. Maintained the timing from there alright.
Was hauled by BZA WAG-7 from Itarsi, and a red WAG-5 from MAS.

Forgot to add, no food, water (drinking or in toilets), pantry available in this train. 'Catering Available' is invalid. Plus since it runs late habitually, it has very short stoppages, about 2/5 minutes irrespective of whatever has been granted officially. For ex, it stopped for only 10 minutes at nagpur and only 15 minutes at Vijaywada (BZA). Compartments' water tanks were empty before Nagpur (where I boarded) and remained empty until BZA.
So be very very careful when taking this train.
