Age old coaches.. Probably they're taken back from the railway museum.. Also the train was late by 2 hrs. No water in the compartment. All this at premium ticket charge which is almost the same as that of a flight ticket. Probably this is why the train is almost empty. Indian railways should seriously look into this. I don't understand how railways is running this train.
Food was OK. Cleaning was also good.

Super AC has started running with self generating CBC coaches from last Friday. Running with SLR+ normal PC+ AC coaches.
Donno whether the existing coaches got scrapped or went for POH for Utkrishtifying, as their condemnation time is not far away.

Yes even i heard about the fact that its coaches were very bad. Any idea as to what happened to the ICF coaches of KL express......some of them were old as well but probably some coaches were relatively new and could have been used to augment coaches in some existing trains

As in some report, its coaches might have been used for 22633. The rest might be used as spare or come to MAS.

    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...
