It usually has a good run post Ongole. From VSKP Till BZA, even if leaves VSKP on time, it will usually reach BZA late. When it is late though, it is usually seen that it has a terrific run despite so many stoppages. If speeded up, it can reach Chennai by at least 11:30pm, giving a good overnight additional option between Chennai,CBE, Kerala. The current arrival time at Chennai of 1:30am is a bit odd time
