Earlier this train was most punctual train of this route,but from past 1-2 year,its punctuality is degrading. If you are going to kolkata and you have a onward journey in some other train,then please keep a buffer of about 5 hours. Its the case in summers,but if its winters,then don't even think of any link train from kolkata after this. because there is no rule book by which it gets late. During the hot month of june-july,it gets late by 3-4 hr,so in winters no guarantee.
please wait...Translate to HindiTrain kaafi time se sabse time par chalti thi is route par, par pichle 1-2 saal se uski time par chalne ki habit bigad gayi hai. Agar tu kolkata ja rahe hai aur tujhe kisi aur train se further journey karni hai toh, toh 5 ghante ka buffer rakhna bhool mat. Ye scene summers mein hota hai, par agar winters hai toh, soch bhi mat kolkata se iske baad kisi link train ki. Kyunki iska late hona koi rule book nahi hai. June-July ke garm mahine mein iski 3-4 ghante late hoti hai, toh winters mein koi guarantee nahi.
