THE BHOOTIYA TRAIN....
Travel in this train at your own risk. Punctuality in this journey is not good (return train is punctual BTW).
1. Gets delayed by 2 hours in between Vijayawada and Visakhapatnam (overtaken by Coromandel Express before/at Visakhapatnam usually).
2. Delay might increase to over 3 hours by Kharagpur (arrival after 11:00 am).
3....
more... Delay increases further till Andul (arrival after 1 pm.) due to rush of arriving trains towards Howrah.
4. Delay at destination might increase to 4 hours or more.
.
One more thing. Be very careful to board this train from small intermediate stations like Andul. The reason:
This train might be announced as Guwahati to Secunderabad Express at many stations (myself heard it yesterday at Andul).
.
Thank God that no one boarded the train from there. No one even cared to go to the platform to inquire about it.
