Travelled on May 2017 from Udupi to Panvel station and here are my observations
-Dont opt for sleeper,pathetic as hell.Daily commuters will try to take your seat.
-Charger points dont work,Rats and rodents can be found toilets always stink.
-Dinner avaible just before Madgaon,I suggest pack the food from Madgaon station.

TT usually won't allow any passengers with general ticket to enter into reserved coach. He usually charges some amount for a seat (if empty). Might be one off case in my coach.

Is ten minutes enough to get packed food at Madgaon? Maybe mine was a different experience as it was a couple of years back. The Chappati and Chicken served before Madgaon was quite good

Cleanliness is an issue as it comes from Kerala as TVC-MAQ exp. But I totally disagree on "Daily passengers taking your seat". There are no daily passengers on this route and the people here are civilised enough to understand the difference between General coaches & Reserved coaches.

If you are from western suburbs ...and u need to save time and reach ur home as early as possible... then get down at panvel itself and catch a local to kurla nd then to dadar..... matsyagandha would be just arrived at thane and by that time u would be already in dadar :D Reason is it wastes a lot of time waiting at Diva outer and entering the mainline ... and moves slowly further till thane most of the time

Alternately, take a local Panvel to Wadala, there you take the Andheri local. There is a Panvel to Andheri local at about 6am.
Kurla/Dadar are to crowded if you have bulky luggage & families. Now you can book Ola Cabs online via their app & you will be picked within 10minutes, Far more cheaper & Comfortable Ac than prepaid taxi, not advisable for people with bulky luggage
