I have just seen this train at after departing Warangal station, damn it was totally empty, I would say entire train is carrying around 20-25 people. First general compartment was total empty, trust me not a single passenger, first 2 ac economy coaches total empty after that there were 1-2 passengers in AC coaches, sleepers were same hardly 1-2 passengers per coach. Last general coach was having 4-5 passengers. I never saw a train this empty till date. I should have captured a video but i got this thought only after train left totally.

Easily it could've got 22952 or 22473 slot between ADI and BDTS.
VRL - ADI in ~ 10 hours and 7.15 hours between ADI and BDTS. But BVP division wants 19204 to halt for minimum 1 hour at Dhasa, Dhandhuka, Sarkhej and Ahmedabad.
TT of 19203 perfect but needs a speedup and slack to be removed in 19204 TT

Between VRL and ADI, 19204 has a dedicated slot but is the slowest as it takes 14.20 hours. The slack is given in the section between Dhasa - Ahmedabad and train routinely runs as per bailgadi timings.
The slot shared between ADI and BDTS is with 19010 / 12998 BME - BDTS Humsafar and 22950 DEE - BDTS.

This train needs

a speed up of ~ 3 hours. Many passengers of JLR - DAS section get down at Surat Vadodara Borivali. Morning arrival of 6 at BRC and 12 noon arrival at BDTS is fine. For Ahmedabad, intercity or passenger from VRL and PBR can work better.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
