traveled with this train recently, i was sad to see the state of cleanliness in this train. almost all the toilets in SL coaches were dirty and there was foul odor from time of originating station itself.
....
the situation was similar in AC coaches too, there was no odor in toilets but they were far from clean. the floors inside the coaches were not washed, the upper berths had layer of dust. only saving grace was clean bedrolls but attendants chewing panmasals was a big turn off.
....
...
more...

on inquiring about the sad state of cleanliness in the train, the TTE told me that there is huge lack of manpower at originating station Muzafarrpur/MFP and hence the rakes are not cleaned to desired levels.
....
now i dint knew should i complain or not, just dint knew whom to blame for poor state of the rakes.
the zone where the train originates ? IR for not providing adequate manpower ?
....
PS - this post is not mean to bash any zone or station and request people not to post ant offensive or abusive post targeting any zone. I am writing this post out of sadness over poor upkeep of a train.

MFP been secondary depot will handle just basic clanliness, which seems isnt been managed, even with ample time span as TAT!!!
If manpower was the reason, trains like Sapt Kranti etc would be running wth deadly pungent odour!!!
Its simply the way people take it,,,like the attendant dnt find issue in chewing paan, peeking it here n there n mayb rubbing hand over stains n thn offering the same hand to serve u bedroll...
But
...
more...
still i do believe the train would have been huge late to arrive MFP, which lead departure with extreme low TAT & hence non-maintenance!!!
If its regular practise, quite shameful..

Re# 1099513-2              
vinay sir, i dont remember the punctuality of the train on arrival at MFP. but there was a thick layer of dust on side upper and upper berths in SL classes. a layer so thick can only settle in 10 hours idling. not to mention the worst casualty were next-gen Bio Toilets, which were rendered unusable due to visible blockages create by foreign objects thrown into it.
i too hope this was one off incidence, and would see a clean 12491 next time.

Dust dont imply idle stay but unused berth while berth runs in dust driven terrain...Lichchavi with lil idle TAT @ Sitamarhi will show dust driven berth, which simply defines dust getting settled during run!!!
Further, u defined correctly the reason behind issue..bio-toilet..they been implemented without any sanitation facility @ pit-lines nor do anyone cares the same & remain choked...also traveler plays vital role in washroom sanitation..
Once SBC Raj washroom got choked & hence unfit, but was addressed by running maintenance staff & same run in approximately all M/E for SL coach even,
...
more...
which need to be informed about any possible choke!!!

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
