Hi everybody.

1)Superfast:...
more...

Truly superfast. Still somewhat has somewhat removable stops like Veer, Bhatkal. TVC Rajdhani and ERS DRNTO were made to stop to pass Marusagar.
--Rating:4.5/5
2)Speed: Good. Li'tl bit compromised, may be due to 24 coaches.
--Rating:3.5/4
3)Punctuality: Moderately punctual. Was on right time till Madgaon. Then had been 2 hrs late @ Ratnagiri. Was 1 hr late @ PNVL and BRC.
--Rating:3/5
4)Coaches: Good to Excellent coaches. Clean. My coach was new (Aug 2010, Kapoorthala).
--Rating: 4.5/5
5)Pantry: Unable to say exactly as I hadn't tasted pantry food. However, co-passengers were saying it to be kind of 'OK'.
--Rating:3/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Hauled by --WDP 4 Diesel locomotive of Bhagat Ki Kothi(Jodhpur).
(Hauled throughout by this loco as loco change wasn'nt done @ BRC.)
