All rakes of East Coast are old. Generally this is the last choice for passengers who take trains to BBS-HWH from HYB.
No PC, food served is terrible, very slow train with 749 stops between HYB and HWH.
Good thing is that now it has 4 coaches of 3A, so you can get a 3A ticket in this train easily. AC classes in Falaknuama are jam packed 380 days a year. So this is your next option.

Yes. If you book separate tickets then you will be eligible for Sr Citizen quota. irctc also will show you the available seats.
One risk is that you might get different coaches.

HA2 ( /blog/post/630875 ) was there as EXTRA Coach since long.
Might have been removed to accomodate B5 due to HIGH WL in 3A.

Rerouting some of the trains like Rajdhani, 12875/6 are very tough calls. These are very old or important trains.
There are few which might happen but will take years.

Hi Folks,
I see that many people till date travel with printouts for e-tickets. I explained one of my friends about sms ticket when I saw him carrying printouts of his next journey.
##
Can we spread the word little more that SMS tickets are very much valid along with ID and we DO NOT NEED A PRINTOUT in case of e-tickets.

Yes. A good idea. For some old habits die hard ie they have never traveled. without a piece of paper/cardboard. Also there maybe cases where people have to put in a claim from their offices for the value of the ticket. The audit people may require a ticket

One option to encourage paper less ticket is for IRCTC to give a choice while booking: Paper or SMS. Those opting for paper may be asked to pay Rs 10-25 more...
