Its not the fault of the locos..

Then whose fault??Track?

Its not the fault of the locos.. Blame the politicians for excessive halts..

How can it be slack time..?? For the past one month or so it is reaching HWH more than 1 Hr late.Where it should reach reach at 11.50,most of the cases it reaches after 1 & sometimes even Janashatabdi & Gitanjali overtaking it & reaching HWH before

I think you're right..Its not the fault of Loco's..Becasue same Loco used for Gitanjali Exp.its doing wonders..Nasik Rd to Jalgaon 234 km 2 Hr 31 mts..!!!! Akola to Badnera 79 km in 1 Hr,Wardha to Nagpur 78 km in 54 mts.Nagpur to Gondia 130 km in 100 mts,Gondia to Raj Nandgaon 105 km in 79 mts , Raipur to Bilaspur 110 km in 77 mts,Bilaspur to Raigarh 133 km in 109 mts,Tatanagar to Kharagpur 134 mts in 100 mts.

even bza-vskp run also very slow tats y people many times prefer hwh-mas mail due to its timings and punctuality,due to politicians stoppages r increased nd travelling time also increased ,the politicians hv done this to tamilnadu exp(5 stoppages to 10 stoppages)but avg speed now also some what 67-68 kmhr many times t.n exp reaches half an hour early at chennai central,gitanjali exp(8 stops to 23 halts) and 65kmhr avg speed,but coromandel frm 3 stops to 10 stops and avg speed just 61-61kmhr
