I think there is no great patronage for this special express looking into the availability in IRI. Extending the special will be a welcoming decision if they also consider to revise the TT somewhere like behind Hampi.
On a lighter note, Looks like UBL has sentiment with this CC - 6 SL, 1 3A, 1 2A, 6 GNRL, 2 SLR - Total 16. This is the 4th train afetr 17317/8, 17319/20, 17225/6 with that CC, though there is no any RSA among them.
