Very worst train in terms of punctuality I saw. Don't know why it will get daily late to Secunderabad. But whereas the Hyderabad - Chennai route is superb. SR will maintains punctuality but SCR won't maintain. They won't consider it as a train after it crosses kazipet. From Chennai to Vijayawada it covers in 7 hours whereas Vijayawada - Secunderabad it will take 7:30 hrs. Passengers and other local suburbs will be given priority than this train. Usually arrives to Secunderabad to 8:15 am. From then it will take 2 hours to reach Hyderabad which is just 10kms from secunderabad. Better you get down at Secunderabad and go by city bus. May be because of the pitline problem they are running at that utter slow.
Usually...
more... it arrives to khammam by 3:05 am
Mahabubabad by 3:50 am
warangal by 4:45 am
Kazipet by 5:15 am
Bhongir by 7:00 am(not having a halt)
Charlapalli by 7:40 am
Moulali by 8:00 am
Secunderabad by 8:35 am
Secunderabad departure (don't know because passengers and many suburbns will get priority than this) 9:00 am in general
Khairathabad 9:30 am
Lakdikapool 9:35 am
Hyderabad 10:00 am
official statistics will show that it is arriving 10-15 min late to Hyderabad.
How illogically they are upadating
see Secunderabad only 1 min it halted ??
