First off, train starts dot on time from PF# 5; which has incredibly poor lighting, so be careful on that Platform people may hit you.
Coach Position is normally +/- 1 of whatever is shown on Coach Position Displays.
Food: Breakfast is Just HORRIBLE, especially the Poha which has a lot of stones; so don't eat it if you

have soft teeth. Catering guys doesn't ask for your option in Breakfast so please contact him beforehand.
Soup is basically Rasam with lot of coriander leaves.
But Lunch is REALLY NICE, especially the daal and Paneer Dish; Lunch is loaded from Solapur and served quite later but it's quite filling for a normal person
Nothing is served between 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM so do have some snacks packed if you feel hungry.
Cleanliness: Okayish, toilets are normally drenched in water, soap dispensers have foam instead of soaps, no toilet paper coach is cleaned only two times, no cleaning of windows at intermediate stations.
Seats don't have headrest covers as promised in Swarn Project even overhead reading lamps don't work for some seats.
Room Freshners don't work.
Train can be late at intermediate stations but it's always on/before time at Secunderabad.
Stoppage time is also less for intermediate stations so if you have large luggage be ready to get in fast as people are way too slow in these things.
Above mentioned are strictly my opinions and subject to opinions; any opinion is totally welcome here please comment your opinions. Hope it helps ЁЯЩВ

Lightning especially near C1, C2 and C3 is really poor atleast during my day of travel.
Also cutlet was not there on that day, even I was surprised. Only Poha was there and the catering guy didn't even ask for options.

catering guy doesn't, i have traveled once, my dad has traveled twice and so has my sis, not to mention countless trips by RF friends.
all of them say the same, catering guy doesn't ask :P
and he has exactly zero extras, so not possible to change what you selected during booking
my coach was C8, and had sufficient lighting at station from where

Re# 3114976-4              
I don't think there was maintainence in the first place ЁЯШВЁЯШВ, atleast during the times when I use Pune Junction for traveling.
All the Platforms of Pune except Platform #1 and Platform #2/3 (to some extent only) are absolutely pathetic. For such a big city they're an absolute shame. No proper lighting, tiling, cleanliness etc. just pathetic.
For the last three years I'm living in Pune and whenever I see PF# 4,5 and 6 i feel ashamed.

    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...
