Disagree:current route is good for KA people
This WAS the best Sampark Kranti, at par with Rajdhani ~ until SWR screwed it up completely by diverting it through Hubbali and Ballari.
Had superb running times when it used to run via Yelahanka, Gooty, Kurnool, Kacheguda.
From a journey time of around 31 hours - SWR has made it to around 43 hours from YPR to NZM....!!!

I was searching for its old time table but all previous dta has been deleted when i found your data just now.Totally agree with you sir ,It was the best Sampark Kranti among all SK's but why they ruined it ,it is the worst decision ever taken as per route and its priority...But this train can be booked for NZM TO KCG as the time table is changed after Kacheguda where earlier it ran between KRNT,ATP,DMM taking just 8 hours and 660 kms but now it is running between KCG-KRNT,BAY,UBL,YPR taking 20 hours and 1081.

This is imho the best train to reach hyderabad from delhi, especially if you are travelling in sleeper class. Very punctual- clean and reaches early morning for you to utilize your day.

Observed as on journey in HA1 from NZM to YPR on 26 dec 2019:
1. Cleanliness 2.5/5
The coaches were cleaned by OBHS, but not the toilets. Not even at big stations like JHS, BPL, NGP, KCG. It should have been done. Tolerable but a lot can be improved. & this was observed in 1Ac
2. Food 4/5
Veg
...
more...
thali - Rice, Dal, pickle, curd, 2 parathas, mix veg. 80 rs
Chicken thali - Mix veg replaced by Chicken curry - 130 rs.
Veg biryani - 70
Chicken biryani - 110
Egg biryani - 90
Standard veg/non veg breakfast - 40/50
There was no variety in food i.e. same food everytime, but food was good.
3. Security - 2/5
Never saw any security personnel in the train in whole journey.
4. Punctuality
Till KCG - 4/5 ,
KCG - DMM - 3/5
DMM - YPR - 1/5
Gets delayed by almost 2 to 2.5 hrs till BPL, but starts recovering the delay then. Delayed by 1 hr at KCG. But after Dharmavaram, stops at every single station and literally moves like a passenger. Ultimately reaching YPR at around 10 PM.
5. UR coaches
Packed from the start i.e. NZM till end.
Overall:
Good to travel till KCG,but to Bengaluru if Rajdhani is an option, then take that. For SL class take this.
