Travelled in this train in AC 2 Tier (2A) from Ratnagiri to Panvel on September 17, 2022.
In my case, even though advance booking had a waitlist, and tatkal quota being used up, plenty of seats were available in current booking for 2A and 3A, when the chart was prepared at Mangaluru. Experienced ticket bookers might want to take a risk with this train, should the opportunity be given.

Also bedding, linen and blankets have not been started for this train yet. Future travellers would be well advised to make their own arrangements regarding the same.
Although the train encounters plenty of crossings in Konkan Railway, additional time has also been provided for it in the schedule. Hence delays and cover up will be a common theme for this train. In my case, train departed from Madgaon on time, reached Ratnagiri 45 minutes late, then 90 minutes late at Chiplun, and finally covering some ground to reach Panvel 30 minutes late.
