18103 is one of few express that has TT and runs like SF. even after MGS, this train and Purushottam SF chase each other depending on both delay but due to Puru extra halts, it has tough time in keeping pace with it. Tata has been trying for its increase of running days with no success. Also for one station FD it has to travel through the worst BSB-LKO routes adding 2 extra hours in its journey.
