Yes, before convesion to superfast in 2009 when it used to run with number 8033/34 ,8033 adi hwh exp run 10hrs before its current schedule and reached hwh early morning

---

Those were pretty good timings. People from BL/VAPI/ST used to prefer this to travel to NGP/R from ST, but after change of timing it lost these pax. BTW why was the schedule altered?

---

They cited lack of slots ( after conversion of superfast it has plenty of stops & it would have trolled azad hind, which before conversion to sf run with number 1029/30 and whose timing were 2 hrs early than current timings in mmr hwh section and jnaneshwari.)
Anyways , actual reasons are unknown and 10hrs delaying of schedule was unexpected.

But due to this 12833 lost many ST/BRC pax towards HWH/R/NGP. Now people from ST/BRC keep it as last option, If going to NGP, they usually prefer 12905 or 12844/18406, for HWH also, now 12905 has become the first choice, which is overburdening 12905.
