I Resumed My 29 Hours [ Supposed] Journey Last Afternoon. I Reached KOAA Around 11:30 Hrs. By 11:40 Hrs, The Train Was Placed In Platform No 2. It Started Moving BANG On Time , Hauled By HWH WAP-4. After Passing Dumdum Jn It Started Picking Up Speed. And After Dankuni Junction, It Was Hitting 100+ Kmph On A Regular Basis... Reached Asansol 15 Mins Beyond Its Schedule, The Delay Never Got Recovered ... After MGS, I Decided To Hit The Bed. Waking Up Around 6AM This Morning, I Realised That We Are Running 1 Hour Beyond Schedule...And Eventually Reached ASR 1 Hr Beyond Schedule Only
PROS:
1.
...
more...
Excellent Run Through Out Even After Being Delayed.
2. Though Pantry Wasn't There Enroute Vendors Compensated That With Their Effort With Tea, Coffee, Snacks & Other Stuffs
CONS:
1.Pathetic House Keeping
2. Pathetic Hygiene
3. No Charging Point In Side Berths
4. No Room Freshner
5. Unsolicited Passengers Started Boarding At SRE. Tweeted The Same To Railway Ministry. No Reply Came [ I Take It As An Exception]
Few Attached Snaps Taken Onboard

Ok... so you were mentally prepared to face the drawbacks of this crack superfast train. Kindly tell us about these photos' locations and other details. It seems that you've snapped them on the LKO-MB Section. I am following this blog entry to see further more photos(and video links) from your side, especially from the Grand Chord Route :)

Oops... you sound slightly angry with this train but its obvious when Pantry Car isn't there. Even I've faced Unreserved passengers between SRE and UMB in 2nd AC while traveling by 12357. Will you travel by this train (Incl 12358) in future or not? If no then it seems that you may not recommend it to anybody else. By the way, you can put in your Ratings and related comments on various parameters in this train's IRI Blog Page. At present average rating score for 12357 is 3.8/5 [72 Votes] :)

99% I'll Not Travel By Train Itself While Traveling To Kolkata...I'll Rather Take A Flight.... But Incase I Need To Travel By Train, This Would Be My Last Option..I'll Rather Take Jaliwanwalabagh Exp Or Punjab Mail

    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...
