At the time of introduction it used to leave at 910 20yrs back east coast at 730. There was lot of demands for intermediate stops to east coast and some are added. Now this intercity is almost running in the same time zone and good for office goers and daily travellers upto Khammam where it teaches before 1200. Early dep at 600 it will loose all this traffic and for Vja there is already LpI intercity and this acts as second train who don't want to leave early. For Vijayawada more traffic will be rom afternoon and in night. I am from Vizag.
