I have observed a number of times ,when 11024 makes to PA by 06:30. So, if it can be dispatched from PA by 06:45, it could easily make it to TGN well before 12124 Deccan Queen Exp
If DQ is allowed to OT at TGN and 11024 follows it to LNL, 11024 EXP would reach LNL by 08:20 which is a...
more... saving of 40 mins.
Further OT by 12125 Pragati Exp would not be needed as it turns away to PNVL from KJT. So, though not as quick as DQ, 11024 can follow DQ right inside Mumbai.
Result : 11024 Sahyadri Exp would reach KYN by before 10 AM and probably CSTM by 11 AM which is a saving of about 1 hour.
