Travelled by this train. Just a few observations. My coach was B3. The composition was the same as was in the website already.
Departed SC at 5:50 am Pf 1. Surprisingly it was still announced as Shalimar AC Special. The train reached WL at 7:57 and left at 7:59 Pf 1.
Reached BZA at 11:20 and departed at 12:00 Pf 4.
Reached RJY
...
more...
at 14:13 and left at 14:16 Pf 3.
SLO 15:03-15:06 Pf 1.
Reached VSKP at 17:37 and left at 18:!2 Pf 8. The train was detained near DVD for close to 30 minutes.
Reached VZM at 19:10 and left at 19:13 Pf 4.
Reached CHE at 20:05 and left at 20:07 Pf 2.
Next day we reached SHM at 9:35 Pf 2.
Loco Links. Got LGD WAG 9 on SC-BZA-VSKP run and then got BSL WAG 5A on the VSKP-SHM run. The acceleration of the WAG 9 was quite extraordinary.
In terms of cleanliness, the coaches were cleaned quite frequently. The toilets were also clean. The bedding provided was also clean and good.
The only issue that I found was that the train can be speeded up by atleast 1 and a half to 2 hours. The LHB coaches can easily do the journey in 25:30 hours or so.
There was no catering onboard. People were rushing in the platforms in BZA and VSKP for food.
Overall journey was quite good and the train is very comfortable.

So WAG9 & WAG 5HA is the Loco Link for this train...provided that if the train had skipped VSKP,then could've easily provided with a HWH WAP4 end-to-end ...But then Loco Change @ VSKP has changed the entire schedule.

    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...
