Gets huge bookings on MAS-BZA and NGP-NDLS sectors. So a BZA-NGP, BPQ-NGP, WL-NGP ticket is likely to be confirmed no matter how high the waitlist is.

Train is more punctual. More preference is given to this train than the Grand Trunk(GT) Exp. Book the tickets for the summer journey earlier to avoid RACs and WLs. Mostly after crossing Jhansi, half of The train will get emptied. Traffic between NZM - NDLS will be slightly more during Summer season.
Traffic between AGC - NDLS Will be heavy during Nov- Jan.

One of the best and punctual trains i have ever traveled. This is one of the fastest super fast trains which has least number of stops and pretty much punctual. The timings are also ideal while departing from Chennai(10 pm) and New delhi(10:30 pm) and reaching time is morning 7 in both cases.

Agree though a small correction 12622 is 0715 at MAS. Also my suggestion would be to please not have dep./arr times in times as these can change even tomorrow and your tip will expire.
