Yesterday,
I have traveled on this train from tpty to krnt.. (Loco is GY-WDM-3A)
Some observations
1) Fastest day ICE I have ever traveled so far..(Dhne-krnt in 28 minutes )
2) Total passengers traveled...
more... from tpty is less than passenger actually boarded from kurnool
3) Almost 1 hour slack is given to this train.. At all stations it was forcefully stopped for more time
I think APSK can also be speeded for at least 45 minuets between tpty-kcg by delaying departure at tpty
Removing of this train is justified as there in no much usage but however I have an idea. New ICE between kcg-tpty in same slot by retaining some 2 DD coaches and remaining ICF coaches.. I hope this is much useful rather than full DD coaches
