actually i travelled 3 yrs back while going to my IIT counselling.at that time too it was giving jerks, and god it has plenty of stops. i couldnt sleep well.also, the coaches were old.
so condition didnt change even after 3 years..

For some of the trains in SCR like for 24 coach trains (eg:- Venkatadri, charminar.etc) the coupling Technique between coaches are similar to Goods trains for better linking & strong bondage between Coaches ..Next You can Observe the Coupling b/w coaches from other trains to Charminar express.. U can find difference its visible .. directly
hence these trains frequently exposed to jerks , Me also faced same problems Yesterday ( 5-04-2011 ) in venkatadri express from TPTY-KCG

The Charminar Express is with CBC Rake (the coupling as like freight wagons), which is the prime reason for jerk, not Loco.
This can be confirmed through the Yellow linings @ Coach Border!

---

The jerk was not due to LOCO (in your case WAP-5) but due to CBC rake.

Jerks or no Jerks, Very convenient for week-end travels between MAS and SC.
It used to be very prompt both at origin and destination. ( no idea in recent days though, as i haven't travelled for a while )
