Excellent train for passengers from Mysuru, Bengaluru in need of a direct train to Bhopal, Ujjain, Kota or Jaipur. Cleanliness is well maintained in 3A and 2A (don't know abt 1A and SL). Food offered on board is lip-smacking. The pulao and paneer pakodas are not to be missed. Ticket availability is good enough if you make your reservations earlier. Good for railfanning because it covers the ghats of Makalidurga and Madhya Pradesh, both up and down, in broad daylight.
