Any reason why does the train 12671 and 12672 does not stop at JTJ and 12673 does not stop at KPD (but 12674 stops).

Re# 3053768-1              
So is this a indication that will see the end of Slip service and entire rake moving to MTP once the PF is on place to accommodate 24 coaches??
.
Also keeping future prospects better they extend the PF length further so that 26 coach rake can be accommodated.
