Wasn't this train a flop one? The timetable specifically on up direction made it an under achiever. Sandwitched between Rupashi and aranyak leaving just 15 mnts after Rupashi from Src and Kgp this train was destined to get poor occupancy. Train announced without proper workings only to get political mileage will get such fate.
