Yes apart from this section, there is also lots of slack in the Udupi Majn section. Nasik to Panvel as well. In non monsoon TT it regularly reached MAJN almost 1 hr before and ERS as well almost an hour before. There are rumours doing the rounds that SR is pushing for conversion to LHB post which we can surely expect speed up. Maybe a delay in dep from NZM & early arrival in ERS
