This train reaches KPR by 21:45 but due to PF unavailability enters SA by 22:50, possibly due to 17235 and 11022 occupying the KRR line to enter SA. SR seriously screwed its route and TT, super crawler now. Most times it arrives PAK,KPD,DG,MDU before time (Together in hours), I wish previous route is restored to this train as 16331 runs, too much slack time.

I wonder why they did not revert back that decision. 1st they changed route via ED then Via DMM - KPD due to Covid, now after Covid also decision not made properly.

I personally think , this train should run via Guntakal, Gooty, Renigunta, tirupathy, Pakala, Katpadi , Salem karur , Dindigul

and the other train balaji exp (via CJ) should run via Guntakal, Dharmavaram, kadiri, pakala, Tirupathy, Renigunta (Dual engine coupled), AJJ (Dual engine decoupled) , CGL, TPJ, DG ....

This train was going via Krishnaraja Puram (KJM). Now, with the diversion via Madanapalle, Bangalore lost 4 days connection with Mumbai and Madurai/ Nagercoil.
Shorter route is PUNE GTL DMM KJM TPT SA NMKL KRR MDU TEN.
It's sibling via Renigunta can go via PUNE GTL RU TPTY KPD TNM VM TPJ MDU TEN.
No loco reversal anywhere. ...

This new route has also robbed it's WAP7 link till CSMT, I wonder why no zone has not yet provided Eloco to 16339/40 despite End to end electrification of entire route.
Can run via KJM in slot of 16331, also at SA bottlenecking due to arrival of 11022,17235 and 22652 in KRR - SA line, causes platform unavailability at that time.
