Overall Tip
In 2011 i travel in this train end to end and i guess it was normal mail express intercity..
However this time its superfast, train was exactly same as on that time..
Runs like same priority.. reach BBS on time..
1....
more...

You will get seats easily from Vizag if you reach ontime still i reached just 1 min before departure and i got the train and seat as well however got the seat bcoz 2 families seated with their children and 4 students .. so they ask me something in Telugu and i said English or Hindi bro.. he told me in english with tuta futa to sit above and i said its very hot 🥵 above and its too on height so he said ok sit here..
So i got seat after departure trains gets more pax, there is huge rush from simanchalam station in whole journey till end no rush like that boarded
2. At Vizag station you will get lots of food options however enroute you will get tea/waterbottle/coldrinks and most importantly crispy Samosa 😋
20 rs for 3.. but after 7 or 8 pm only station catering options available that is from stalls..
3. Charging Sockets available on both sides
4. Trains gets empty after Brahmapur, you can sleep even ..
By reaching BBS train is hardly 30% occupied..
.
Overall i will rate this train as 4.5/5
.
I interacted with family's and those students, they told me so much about Andhra Pradesh which we never see on social medias, news.. as every one just show us silver spoon 🥄 without telling the issues..
One of student had great time talk, he shared so much about culture, people, issues, what mindset they had for betterment of State and Nation..
They deboarded at Sompeta its near to Orrissa Border, he shared his contact information and also invited for his elder brother marriage this year 😹
As i asked him that how rituals and ceremonies took places here in AP in Wedding..

Thanks
