This tip is in reference with my travel from KGP to SHM:

Cleanliness: Surprisingly, my compartment was really clean. I hoped for the worst but I was surprised. Trust me, I have seen express trains which have poor cleanliness than this train. Can't say about the bathroom though as I did not use it.

Food:

From KGP to SRC, there is not a single stop and so you probably won't find any vendors in the train. If you want food, your best bet would be to buy from KGP.

Speed: Amazing speed between KGP and SRC. Travelling at an average of 95 kmph.

Punctuality: This train is punctual. It was delayed by 15 mins at KGP but made it up handsomely. It may stop at Andul for quite some time however due to non availability of platform at SRC but other than that, it maintains it's timings

Crowd: The train was almost empty at KGP. I was able to stretch my legs and travel comfortably. Can't say about the crowd from Adra to KGP though but from KGP, you will have a comfortable journey.

Security: As with any other train, I would suggest you keep a good eye on your belongings.

Last RF session of the year and the first RF session combined together. The first pic is of Dhauli Express which was my last RF pic for 2018 and the next three pics are of East Coast Express, which was my first sighting and journey for 2019. The last pic is that of Steel Express which arrived at the adjacent platform.

This Train Is Nightmare. But Had To Travel In It Since This Is The Only Direct Train To AGTL Where You Can Explore Barak Valley. Honestly Speaking There Is No PRO In This Train, But It Is Full Of Cons... The Cons Are
1. There Is No PC In Such A Long Distance Train. After NJP You Will Hardly Find A Vendor Even For Tea/Coffee/ Water. Although People Do Take Orders For Your Meal. I Booked Lunch & Dinner For Yesterday Through E-Catering . Hence, Had No Real Issues In Terms Of Food. This Morning Had Good Breakfast Option At LMG. Had To Order Lunch From Railway Staffs Which Was Disaster. But At Haflong, You Get Good Food & Fruits To Purchase.
...

2. Cleanliness Is A Big Let Down. First Thing We Got To Know After Boarding The Train Is OBHK Is On Strike, So No Staffs Will Be Available For Cleaning. Nothing Happened Even After Tweeting To Railway Ministry. Even The AC Door Was Making Noise Like Anything. Bedroll Was There, But Without Hand Towels. We Eventually Had To Ask For It
3. The Train Is A Supercrawler. Through Out Its Run It Maintained A Delay Around 1 Hour But Reached DMR Just 15 Mins Late....This Train Can Easily Depart At 8:35 Hrs From SDAH And Still Maintain Its Schedule
4. All Coaches ( AC & Sleeper) Needs Replacement Since They Are Horribly Old And Zero Maintenance . Orelse A Serious Accident Is Just Round The Corner

I think the best train to explore Barack is 20502 Agartala Rajdhani. Clean LHB coach, no tension of food and class A services. You will be able to RF in peace.

Yes true. But for best RF experience that is the train. Still, sad to see 13173 degrade so much. Last time I traveled, it was actually quite good. I would not say it was amazing in terms of cleanliness or facilities but it had some standard. Sadly, no one cares about trains like Kanchanjunga hence the degradation

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    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...
