Always prefer this train over Udyan express for travelling to Mumbai from Bengaluru and vice versa because of the following reasons
1) Food - Pantry Car is available on this train so no problem for food even though pantry car is purely vegetarian it is certainly better than the food the hawkers/unofficial vendors that serve inedible food on the Udyan express.Even no problem for drinking water on this train
2)Cleanliness - OBHS is available on board.Cleaning is top class in AC compartments.But average in SL compartments but definitely better than Udyan Express.
3)Coaches...

- Coaches are pretty new on this train where as in Udyan it is of 1990's make and all the cusion have come out in 2A coaches of Udyan express.
4)Ticket Availability - GN tickets are easily available in this train but Bengaluru to Mumbai falls under PQ which is very difficult to clear.So for GN quota tickets book tickets from Salem and chose boarding point as Bengaluru City/Bengaluru Cantt. and book to any station in Mumbai.
5) Charging points - Charging points available in each bay.
6)Punctuality- The only problem of this train is punctuality this train is puntual in reaching Coimbatore but however in reaching Bengaluru it acn be almost 2.5 to almost 9hrs late.It is a very rare case this train arriving Bengaluru on time.
