Entry# 122026
after the introduction of this train, i got a chance to travel by this train on 1 march 2011 from ANGUL to LTT in the sleeper class as i did not get a AC class ticket.
The train was quite good in terms of speed and maintaing time. The train was running almost 2 hrs late after jharsuguda even upto MANMAD the next morning. But it reached LTT only 20 mins late which is praise worthy.
But...

my main focus is on the food that the pantry car attached to this train is serving. I ordered a non veg meal for night. The food quality and quantity was so bad that i dont have words to express it. The non veg meal consists of 2 chapatis which is very hard to chew, even harder than a tandoori roti. A rice, a chicken and a water pouch. Can u guys imagine how much it was priced??? It costs me Rs.82 Beleive it guys.
Even i had a mouthful of fight with the pantry car staff.
The pantry car charged me Rs 82 for 2 chapatis, a rice, 2 pc chicken and a water pouch.
SO I request all the passengers travelling by this train or reading this blog to arange their food of their own. If not be prepared for a horrible food. Even I guess the jails in our country provide much better food.
