This train is so amazing. I don't know how does it maintain its schedule. Travelling from West to East, covering 2088 Km in around 37 Hrs, 63 stoppage and still managing an average speed of 55 Kmph is brilliant and outstanding. Enroute it does get late about 30min-50min but does reach its destination in time. The timing is little odd it could have been started in evening from both starting station and made it reach its destination early morning. The food on train is average but no need to worry as lots of station come and you can get good and affordable food. The cleanliness is very good they have OBHS which works round the clock, but I request people, not to spoil train floor. Security is damm good, RPF staff gets on train every night for rounds n checks. The natural scenery is best at Raigarh, Nagpur and Rourkela. One...
more... problem is that Transgender people and beggars getting on board and ask for money and sometimes harass you. One thing i like about this train is that in office hours and school time I'm able to see different kind of people in train try to interact with them, some of the girls and ladies require seat for their 1-2 Hr journey and its kind of fun to talk with them and exchange thoughts.
Overall this train is really a fast "passenger" train in a good way. Hope that this train gets a revised timing and permanent addition of 2 more 3AC coaches as i have never got a seat in 3AC in past 3 years. And also hope this train get P7 as it deserves the most.
If i have to rate this train I would rate it overall 8/10. And one thing, with little more effort of railways this train can be made ISO certified.
