My mother will be travelling in 12150 Danapur-Pune SF Exp on 15th Apr (ex DNR) in AC2. Any idea if she can expect to see bedroll being provided when she starts tomorrow?

Friends, I will be travelling (alone) in First AC via 18520 between PUNE-VSKP in few days time. Wanted to understand from your expertise about what kind of experience to expect in this journey of 25 hours, e.g. services, facilities, things to know, etc.

I've an upcoming travel (along with wife) in which I'll have a changeover of trains at Ratlam in middle of night with possible layover between 2-6 hours (depending on which train I get a confirmed ticket in). Since this waiting time is in middle of night, can someone familiar with this station please advise what option I might have on the station in terms of spending the few night hours. Is there a Waiting Room available? And if yes, is it decent enough to take some rest in night, and if generally space can be found in middle of night hours?
Any tip/advise would be appreciated.
TIA!

Searching online for more info, I found from click here that there is indeed a Waiting Room. However since this is a bit dated post, I searched more and came across click here (slide# 61) that gives the idea that indeed decent enough Waiting Room is available at RTM. If anybody can share any more recent info, it would be great!

As per the time table, this train is supposed to run every Mon (upto 29 Dec) from Pune. However when trying to book in IRCTC for Pune-Tata, this trains fails to show up. What's going on here?!

In the vast community of knowledgeable members on IRI, I'm surprised to see that not even a single person is answering this question. Is there something wrong with the question?

Your response was truly helpful. Subsequently I tried again at IRCTC. Now the train shows up in the list of train, but when click on class name link to start reservation process, I am getting the following error:

Error
BOOKINGs are NOT ALLOWED at this TIME

Guess the CR is still not have proper info in its database :(

To the best of my knowledge, all technical halts of Duronto are converted to commercial halts from 1st of Jan. However when checking for 12222 to book from Tata (presently a tech halt) to Pune for 2nd of Jan, I don't see this train. Is this Duronto not part of this halt type change scheme w.e.f. 1st Jan?

Thanks for your reply. You seem to have responded for HWH CSTM DRNTO, while I was asking about the HWH PUNE DRNTO.

    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...
