I am yet to roll my head around the TT of this train. Upto Khalilabad, it runs like a decent express train. But post that, it becomes worse than a passenger. The only reason I can think of is that IR wanted to slow it down enough so that they could sell it as an LJN GKP Overnight train[which IMO, isn't feasible considering that dual electrified tracks has made the route much faster]. Heck, it even stoppages at Sihapar Halt and I am quite sure even the DRM GKP will struggle to explain if ever, anybody has deboarded at these stations.
