Great Useful Great Great Great Great Great Great
Round Trip: 1st April 2024- 3rd April 2024.
AC 2 Tier. Find Brown Interiors much more soothing and Premium than Blue ones.
Went to Sri Ganganagar for Official Work.
Had planned on returning from Sri Ganganagar itself on 3rd April but due to some work ended up going to Suratgarh so booked a 2A ticket from Suratgarh to Sri Ganganagar and after meeting TTE

went to my original seat which I had booked from Sri Ganganagar since it was empty till there anyway. After a very long time went behind a Diesel Locomotive. Every Station is under construction. Instead of finishing some first before starting others they've blown up everything before finishing anything.
Easy speedup by 1.5 hours with good enough slack.
Maintenance: Good Train, well maintained especially Washrooms. Cleanliness is maintained throughout journey. Bedrolls are crispy white and clean. Much better than even Lucknow New Delhi AC Superfast Express.
Punctuality: Excessive Slack, any delay gets covered up at Bathinda and Sri Ganganagar. 20 minute halt at Bathinda completely useless. Always reaches Sri Ganganagar Platform #1 almost 30 minutes before time every day both directions saw it myself twice and confirmed same from local vendors. Good 50 minute halt everyday. Enters Delhi at around 06 AM
Reaches Dayabasti at 06:48 gets regulated heavily till 07:22. Even Swarna Jayanti Rajdhani apparently gets regulated for good 20 minutes before being allowed to proceed further saw it myself.
Patronage: Main market for this train starts at Suratgarh, Sri Ganganagar and Abohar jointly provide almost 70% of Patronage. It's the lifeline of Defence Personnel here, absolutely crucial. Many people use this train to reach Delhi in order proceed further with flights and trains. Sleeper Class has excellent patronage and all other classes get good last minute occupancies despite having good amount of seats available during bookings 1 month before traveling.
Food: Tried the ONLY eCatering Option available on this route at Suratgarh. Pizza and French Fries, manageable enough.

Agree:exactly 💯
Oh, Dayabasti; probably the most unclean station in all of Delhi. Literally has a garbage dump between PF #2 and #3.

Exactly, people were taking number two, number one, showering all besides Railway Tracks between Mangolpuri and Dayabasti especially besides Dayabasti Platforms.
The Children inside the Coach truly had a sight to behold all thanks to the "glorious, imprisoned wannabe PM with freebies CM's love for his preferred Vote Bank".

I was in Delhi last month and had gone to Shakur Basti for railfanning. That station itself is tough to access currently from the metro station side. I just took a train from SSB bound for it's target Sarai Rohilla but it was heavily regulated at Daya Basti. I got down and saw the status of the station. There were literally cows/bulls in front of the main entrance almost blockading it. The platform numbers weren't written and all Google reviews said about this station/area was to avoid it post evening.

I don't

think Daya Basti even has a metro station next to it[ nearest is still a km away]. The only positive thing was couple of police men patrolling PF #4 where a passenger train was about to arrive.

There would have been many top contenders but mamata bannerjee changed the scene in 2006 by turning more than 200 of good ordinary express to super fast without changing much to their TT
