Because of the delay in the Rajamundry sector on daily basis, this train is getting delayed every day by almost 3-3.5 hours daily. But surprisingly it is having a terrific run between Vijaywada and Chennai reaching on an average within 7-7.5 hours.
The time of arrival in Chennai is between 5am-6:30 when the station is at its peak which is even more surprising that it is able to get a platform.
