Since this train is a SHM bound train, you can easily get tickets. In AC, non AC and general compartments, many seats remain empty. If you want to go till SRC, you will find no better option that this one as other trains like Dhauli, Ispat remain packed. From SRC, if you want to go to HWH, you can always catch an EMU.

This train has a senior citizen quota where some seats are reserved for senior citizen passengers in Sleeper. The seats will always be lower berth seats(window side seats) and so you do not need to worry regarding any travelling issues if you have any senior citizen travelling alone in this train. Also, the passengers of Sleeper are quite well behaved and take really good care of any senior citizen travelling.

I don't think all trains have SC quota for all classes. I might be wrong though. Still, I decided to post this tip since many might not be aware.

This tip is regarding occupancy in SL coach.
12663 is no different from 12841 in terms of occupancy.
Not advisable to book in SL if traveling with your family in ANY TRAIN under MAS-HWH section.
The people boarding in your coach will deboard only at MS, don't misjudge by looking at the bi-weekly tag :P

Agreed. 3AC in the present day is just sleeper with AC. 2AC is the best option with regards to travelling with family. Quiet and safe.

SL can be bearable if railways pays some attention to the heavy boarding of WL or RAC passengers. Some Durontos also have sleepers and they are much better simply because there is no authorized passengers there

I don't think travelling in SL will be a good experience in any north bound trains

I see. Well I do not have any experience of travelling in trains from south-north. I am speaking from my experience of travelling in trains from east-north where the SL is a disaster.

There is a huge rush for tickets in this train, especially during weekends and during festival times. If you intend to book during this time then make sure to do so in advance.

Maybe because it's an AC Special. Other trains in this route runs jam packed.

Garib Rath 3A costs 870 while for this train it is 1600. That might be an issue

    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...
