They're still clinging on to that 30 minutes of additional slack time granted (as a temporary measure to improve punctuality) between penultimate halt & destination.
From 01/07/2019, 16630 has been speeded up by 5 minutes & is scheduled to arrive TVC at 0935.
Incidentally, existing(and there's no change to it) timing of 56715 at TVC i s 0915/0920.
Moreover, has never seen PUU...
more... - CAPE passenger(with far fewer stops between QLN & TVC, as compared to Malabar) overtaking Malabar, till date.
So what exactly is the correct timing of 16630 at TVC?
Originally Malabar was scheduled to reach TVC by 0910; they added 30 minutes 'grace slack' & made it 0940, knowing well that Malabar will always reach TVC before that(BTW, it's timing @ TVP is still 0840).
This is a sample of how TVC operates its trains!!
