Today i.e 13th March I've returned from SC to GNT in 02796. Now I'll take you through this 3.30mins journey from SC-GNT, This beauty arrived on PF1 in Secunderabad before time i.e around 5.15am. Departed at 5:31am. I thought 02796 has 120MPS till Pagidipalli and Opened Speedometer and waiting for it to hit 120, crossed moula-ali , no MPS still cruising at 80km/hr. After crossing charlapally it started hitting 110 km/hr, sadly there's no 120 action. Now at Bibinagar there's a freight on main line, so overtook it through the loop-line (5mins wasted).
Now into GNT division - Started cruising 110, Bommaipalli 110 skip, Nagireddypalli around 100, Valigonda 90 or so, I think after Valigonda there's some...
more...

ballast work is going on so 30-50kmph for 10mins. Now near chityala there's some RUB work is going on 30kmph for 10 more mins. Picked up good speed after that till Nalgonda outer, There's some 30kmph PSR for 3min, after that it again picked up and Nalgonda 110 skip.
FALCON crossing time - Suddenly 02796 got slowed down, crawling at may be 10kmph, I went to the door, Home signal is RED so LP is pulling slowly towards the signal pole, Now I can see Falaknuma is being Looped and slowy coming to halt. Now our Signal turned RED to YELLOW to GREEN in a blink, we picked up, Skipped Miryalaguda 90kmph, Skipped Nadikude at 8.03 exactly at 90kmph. It took just 1hr to reach GNT from NKD for ICE. Time 9.03am I'm on PF 1 GNT JN.

PS, FYI - I went to SC on 11th March in 02705 ICE to witness 120 KMPH and man that was AWESOMEEEE!

My thoughts about this journey are
There were lot of TSRs and PSRs, I saw At least 12-15 90kmph SR
boards. I really got frustrated between Pagidipalli and Nalgonda. i stood
at the left door between Miryalaguda and Nadikude, and SAP to GNT.
Those 90kmph boards really pissed me off. I felt that 2796 can do SC-GNT
easily in 3 hrs. Actually this is my 5th or 6th time, travelling in 2796, I didn't remember journeyy date, one day 2796 left SC at 5.45am due to festive rush, We arrived at GNT 9.20am.On that day we were stopped for all the crossings still managed to reach GNT 9.20am. AT that time there were no SRs. That's the trashing wanted to witness.

When I was traveling in 2705 on thursday, I felt the speed. Man! it's damn fast. Even in 110kmph days, it used to maintain that speed constantly. I didn't that feel today in 2796 due those Speed restrictions.
