This train should ideally have gone upto LJN though I doubt that'll ever happen due to platform constraints at LJN, time constraint for this train[has 1 hour TAT time and taking it to LJN will squeeze that furthur] plus IR terminates it at GTNR to artificially reduce time on paper[just like how DEC-JP VB is run from Delhi Cantt instead of DLI or NDLS].
