12687 Madurai Chandigarh SF was badly trolled today. It was already rescheduled by 12 hrs. Departed BZA at 4:10 AM and arrived WL at 11:20 AM and departed at 12:20 PM after 1 hour halt. More than 8 hrs to cover a distance of 206 KMS. I was travelling by 18519 VSKP - LTT, departed BZA around 7:20 AM and reached WL at 10:45 AM. We overtook 12687 before Dornakal, before us it was already overtaken by 11020 Konark Exp, 12713 Satavahana SF exp and after us by 17201 Golconda Exp and 20833 Vandebharat. Same with prestigious 12621 Tamil Nadu SF Exp, it was overtaken by 20833 Vandebharat, 17208 BZA SNSI Exp and 18045 East Cost Express. TamilNadu departed BZA at 8:20 AM and reached WL at 2:45 PM, almost 6.5 Hrs.

Its due to planned NI work in WARANGAL BPQ route. Triple line works happening at Sirpur kaghazngr makudi section. Even 22691 was held at kazipet. So all trains bound to BPQ side were regulated by SCR

Due to tripling work happening in WL-BPQ section, those running towards KZJ/SC/HYB would not have had any impact.

If the train's PM shifted to NR, What will be the new train number ?

Also the train should bypass ED , that would save lot of time.
