17659/60 needs good timings:-
SC 20.05; KZJ 22.55; BDCR 01.55/02.25; MUGR 03.35 for 17659;
MUGR 23.15; BDCR 00.25/00.55; KZJ 04.00; SC 06.45 FOR 17660;

It will take more than 8 hrs because of its stops and preference in the section until it reaches DKJ

Okay. 2 hrs 45 mins in SC-KZJ is very long time given.

This train is a intercity passemger train between SC and Warangal to cater to local travellers it was extended to Bhradrachalam Road as it remains idle during night to provide connection upto Doranakal after Satavahana exp dep not to crowd Godavari Express and demand for stoppages. As distance exceeded 200km they recently converted to express. As it is the traffic after Dorankal wil be less and extending further upto Manguluru is waste as Night SC Manguluru runs with very less occupancy after Bhradrachalam. In return kakatiya passenger used to reach SC at 930 for office goers but after extention they delayed it by 2hrs.As kakatiya alone is not able to coup with rush of travellers MEMU is also introduced. Hope u all understand the history of this for the last 30 yrs for Warangal
