This train is actually quite punctual contrary to what some people say or have said. During my journey, it arrived 5 mins before time at KGP. However, the major problem this train may face that it could be halted at Andul or SRC outer due to non availability of platform. During my journey, it halted for almost 10 mins at Andul because of this problem. Apart from that, no problem whatsoever with the punctuality of this train.
