One of the best trains to travel on the Konkan Railway.
The main advantage of this train is its timing.
The upma and sheera served in this train are one of the best on the Indian Railways which costs Rs 34 per plate.(Sold by pantry guys precisely Ahuja Caterers)
They even serve sandwiches which are OK.

Its a pseudo-Rajdhani in the catering perspective as well, besides being so in terms of speed.
The attendant will ask for your preferences Veg/Non-veg N.India/S.Indian on Day 1 at the time of boarding.
Thereafter he'd serve you all meals at the respective timings. Dinner-Bfast-Lunch-EveningTea-Soup-Dinner-Breakfas t.
At the end of Day 2, he'd bill all of it and present it to you.

A rough figure of the total amount is 300.
The food provided is MUCH MUCH better than what they serve in SBC-NZM Rajdhani Express.
So the tip here is, when you're split between the 3A costing 2000 bucks (plus 300 for catering) for 35 hours in KSK and the one costing 3000 for 33.5 hours in the Rajdhani, decide logically.
.
PS: This tip has been written from the point of view of a 3A traveler. Services in other classes may vary.

This train has improved to a great extend in terms of toilet cleanliness, food and bed linen.
The Staff has also become quiet courteous, even though they still demand tips at the end of the trip but thats natural due to such low salaries.
But overall Its the best train on KR and for Goa and Trivandrum Passengers.

    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...
